Help Alyssa start the school year with the right tools

Alyssa won a place at the Los Angeles Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Los Angeles
I earned a place in Year 11 at the Los Angeles Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $900, which is more than we have. I love coding and want to become an engineer. 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 $900 goes: • Laptop: $340 • School uniform and shoes: $230 • Textbooks and workbooks: $200 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $130 Every share and every dollar helps.
