Back-to-school fund for Madelyn

Madelyn earned a place in the first year of senior school at Sheffield International School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $900, which is more than they have. Madelyn loves biology and wants to become a marine biologist. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $900 goes: • Laptop: $420 • School uniform and shoes: $210 • Textbooks and workbooks: $210 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $60 With deep gratitude, Andrew

        Rooting for you, Andrew. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
