Carol's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Carol won a place at San Jose Boys' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Form 4 at San Jose Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $950, which is more than we have.
I love robotics and want to become a software developer. 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 $950 goes:
• Textbooks and workbooks: $185
• School uniform and shoes: $130
• Laptop: $635
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Carol. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
