Luca earned a place in Year 11 at Los Angeles Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $350, which is more than they have. Luca loves mathematics and wants to become an engineer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $350 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $140 • School uniform and shoes: $120 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $90 I hope life is good to you. - Doris
