Back-to-school fund for Sanne
Help Sanne begin Year 11 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands3,109 views
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.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sanne.
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.
thanks for sharing this, Sanne. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
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.
