I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Dortmund Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $850, which is more than we have. I love biology and want to become a nurse. 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: $340 • School uniform and shoes: $250 • Textbooks and workbooks: $210 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Frieda

  • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dortmund.

    • hang in there, Frieda. Hope you get there. God bless.

      • Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

        • Take care, Frieda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

          • Thinking of you. Study hard!

            • Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Dortmund

              • Praying for you, Frieda. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Faisalabad but we're thinking of you. All the best

                  • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Accra this morning. Greetings from Accra.
