🇺🇸 United States1,890 views
I earned a place in Grade 9 at Pittsburgh Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $900, which is more than we have.
I love chemistry and want to become a teacher. 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 $900 goes:
• Laptop: $490
• School uniform and shoes: $160
• Textbooks and workbooks: $140
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $110
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($373). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward textbooks and workbooks.
Update from Pittsburgh: we've started the first stage. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Update from Pittsburgh: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

sending good thoughts, Natalie. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts, Natalie. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Pittsburgh
Best of luck, Natalie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
so sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Pittsburgh.
Wishing you peace, Natalie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
