Marseille
Nicolas earned a place in Year 10 at the Marseille Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $950, which is more than they have. Nicolas loves design and technology and wants to become an engineer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $950 goes: • Laptop: $560 • School uniform and shoes: $155 • Textbooks and workbooks: $170 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $65 Glad we found this place. - Ethan

  • You're not alone, Ethan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 9 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

    • Hope things get better soon, Ethan. Hope this works out for you. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too

      • So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Gazipur.

        • Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Houston.

          • wishing you the best, Ethan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

            • Sending love, Ethan. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Marseille.
