I earned a place in the first year of senior school at The Hague International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $900, which is more than we have.
I love biology and want to become an engineer. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $900 goes:
• Laptop: $470
• School uniform and shoes: $105
• Textbooks and workbooks: $250
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Marijke. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Udaipur but we're thinking of you. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Marijke. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
any update on how things are going in The Hague?
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Take care, Marijke. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Praying for you, Marijke. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
