Charles's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Charles won a place at Buffalo Girls' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Buffalo Girls' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,100, which is more than we have.
I love chemistry and want to become an engineer. 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 $1,100 goes:
• Laptop: $470
• School uniform and shoes: $260
• Textbooks and workbooks: $310
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

best of luck, Charles. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Wishing you peace, Charles. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best!
Thinking of you, Charles. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dnipro.
Stay strong, Charles. Study hard! All the best.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Johannesburg.
