San Antonio
Anthony earned a place in Form 4 at San Antonio Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $850, which is more than they have. Anthony loves chemistry 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 $850 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $60 • School uniform and shoes: $195 • Laptop: $595 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Mackenzie
