Back-to-school fund for Mia
Mia won a place at the London Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,189 views
Mia earned a place in Year 10 at the London Selective 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 $750, which is more than they have.
Mia 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.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $750 goes:
• Laptop: $550
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $45
• Textbooks and workbooks: $155
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Keep going, Alice. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Thinking of London.

Thinking of you, Alice. I hope things turn around soon. Take care

Take care. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Monterrey this morning. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Alice. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Kampala.
