I earned a place in Year 10 at Lowell International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,050, which is more than we have.
I love mathematics and want to become a software developer. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Laptop: $660
• School uniform and shoes: $180
• Textbooks and workbooks: $145
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Hang in there, Melanie. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Yekaterinburg donated after I showed her your page. Love from Yekaterinburg.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Lowell.
