Marcus earned a place in Grade 9 at Leicester Technical College, 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 $850, which is more than they have.
Marcus loves graphic design 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 $850 goes:
• Laptop: $500
• School uniform and shoes: $120
• Textbooks and workbooks: $185
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Joshua
Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($273). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for textbooks and workbooks is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($273 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 9% thanks to 2 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon. - Joshua
