Valentina earned a place in Year 11 at Manchester Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $750, which is more than they have. Valentina loves design and technology 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: $400 • School uniform and shoes: $90 • Textbooks and workbooks: $220 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Manchester.

    • Tyler BurtonOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Manchester I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

  • praying for you, Tyler. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in Hanoi this morning. God bless.

    • Autumn D. LynchQuestionID verified

      what exactly is the $750 for?

      • Tyler BurtonOwnerAnswer

        Laptop is $400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • good luck. Study hard! Take care

      • study hard! My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Love from Los Angeles

        • Do you have the school's supply list you could share with the moderators?

          • Thinking of you. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.

            • Does the money go straight to the school supplier or to you?

              • Tyler BurtonOwnerAnswer

                It comes to me first, then I pay the school supplier myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Fair thing to want to know.

            • Rooting for you, Tyler. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Manchester.

              • Sending good thoughts, Tyler. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Manchester

                  Best of luck, Tyler. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!

                  • Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
