Julian earned a place in Year 11 at Albany Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,100, which is more than they have. Julian loves robotics and wants to become a teacher. 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 $1,100 goes: โ€ข Laptop: $450 โ€ข School uniform and shoes: $260 โ€ข Textbooks and workbooks: $340 โ€ข Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Jonathan

  • Who gets the funds, you or the school supplier?

    • Jonathan SimsOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      It comes to me first, then I pay the school supplier myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Thanks for asking.

  • Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 40 people at work.

    • Is laptop the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Jonathan SimsOwnerAnswerPhoto verified
