I earned a place in Form 4 at the Mekelle Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $100, which is more than we have.
I love graphic design and want to become a marine biologist. 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 $100 goes:
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10
• Laptop: $50
• School uniform and shoes: $40
With deep gratitude,
Fikir
Updates from Fikir
Good news. Because of your gifts ($130 in total) the plan for calculator, stationery and a school bag is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $85 raised so far (85%). the plan for laptop is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 55% funded and I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fikir.
thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thanks for sharing this, Fikir. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Fikir. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Fikir. Study hard!
