Lin earned a place in Year 11 at San Jose Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,150, which is more than they have. Lin loves chemistry and wants to become a software developer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $1,150 goes: • Laptop: $650 • School uniform and shoes: $150 • Textbooks and workbooks: $250 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Zhen

  • Wishing you the best, Zhen. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

    • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier.

      • Hope it all works out, Zhen. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page.

        • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lin?

          • Good luck, Zhen. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Please keep us posted.

            • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lin

                Laptop is $650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
