Fresno
I earned a place in Grade 9 at Fresno International 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 $1,000, which is more than we have. I love chemistry and want to become a nurse. 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 $1,000 goes: • Laptop: $560 • School uniform and shoes: $230 • Textbooks and workbooks: $185 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $25 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Nicholas

    Thanks for sharing this, Nicholas. 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. Love from Feira de Santana!
