I earned a place in Year 11 at Red Deer Technical College, 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 $850, which is more than we have.
I love design and technology and want to become a pilot. 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 $850 goes:
• Laptop: $620
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40
• School uniform and shoes: $190
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you the best, Dennis. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
is there anything that isn't money that would help Dennis?
Thank you. If you're in Red Deer I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Dennis. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
good luck. Hope you get there!
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Red Deer.
Hope things get better soon, Dennis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Red Deer.
