Help Asher start the school year with the right tools

Asher earned a place in Grade 9 at Surrey Girls' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,100, which is more than they have. Asher loves graphic design and wants to become a nurse. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $1,100 goes: • Laptop: $480 • School uniform and shoes: $230 • Textbooks and workbooks: $310 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Lucy

  1. Small update. $458 so far, the plan for laptop is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $713 raised so far (65%). the plan for school uniform and shoes is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($808 in total) I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
