Help Sébastien start the school year with the right tools
Sébastien won a place at Toulouse International School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇫🇷 France1,033 views
I earned a place in Grade 9 at Toulouse International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $750, which is more than we have.
I love robotics 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 $750 goes:
• Laptop: $450
• School uniform and shoes: $170
• Textbooks and workbooks: $90
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Pokhara
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Toulouse.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sébastien.
Sure. The biggest one is laptop, $450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
best of luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Take care
Study hard! I'll check back for the next update. All the best!
How is Sébastien doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
You're not alone, Sébastien. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Study hard! I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Hope things get better soon, Sébastien. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
