East London
Brett earned a place in the first year of senior school at East London Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $300, which is more than they have. Brett loves coding and wants to become a marine biologist. 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 $300 goes: • Laptop: $165 • School uniform and shoes: $40 • Textbooks and workbooks: $90 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5 Thank you so much.

    Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      Hang in there. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Mumbai.

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brett.

            Laptop is $165 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

          study hard! Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

            Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Tuxtla Gutiérrez so I could bring a meal. Take care

              Keep going, Willem. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
