Shawn earned a place in Year 11 at Manukau Girls' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $750, which is more than they have. Shawn loves biology and wants to become a software developer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $750 goes: • Laptop: $430 • School uniform and shoes: $120 • Textbooks and workbooks: $110 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $90 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Angel

Updates from Angel

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($324 in total) I made the first payment toward laptop. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 38% there. I made the first payment toward laptop. Thank you. - Angel

  3. Update from Manukau: I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

    • Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Manukau.

      • Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

        • Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

          • Praying for you, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
