Clara's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Clara won a place at Pittsburgh Science Academy but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Year 11 at Pittsburgh Science Academy, 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 $900, which is more than we have.
I love design and technology and want to become an architect. 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 $900 goes:
• Laptop: $630
• Textbooks and workbooks: $200
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $70
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Clara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Pittsburgh
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about laptop, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Any update on how things are going in Pittsburgh?
