Novosibirsk
I earned a place in Year 11 at the Novosibirsk Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $200, which is more than we have. I love graphic design and want to become a teacher. 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. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $200 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40 • School uniform and shoes: $50 • Laptop: $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Best of luck, Yulia. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
