I earned a place in Year 11 at Amsterdam Girls' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $850, which is more than we have. I love design and technology and want to become a nurse. 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. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $850 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $55 • Textbooks and workbooks: $155 • Laptop: $640 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sanne

  1. Update from Amsterdam: I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 86% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • Magdalena Beata ChmielewskiQuestion

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sanne.

    • Sanne SmitOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is calculator, stationery and a school bag, $55. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

  • Nicholas F. Morgan

    thanks for sharing this, Sanne. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

    • Faruk Shafiq Mukherjee

      wishing you peace, Sanne. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Bristol

        hope it all works out, Sanne. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Blessings.

          Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. After 14 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
