Ethan earned a place in Grade 9 at Dundee Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $650, which is more than they have.
Ethan loves robotics and wants to become an engineer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
He will take care of everything given and works very hard.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $650 goes:
• Laptop: $450
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $95
• School uniform and shoes: $105
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Riley
Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag.
Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts.
