Marta earned a place in Grade 9 at Ann Arbor International School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,050, which is more than they have. Marta loves graphic design and wants to become a pilot. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $1,050 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50 • Textbooks and workbooks: $230 • Laptop: $770 Thank you so much.

  3. Update from Ann Arbor: the plan for laptop is now scheduled. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
