Tài won a place at the Albany Selective School but the family cannot afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in the first year of senior school at the Albany Selective 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 an engineer. 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.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $900 goes:
• School uniform and shoes: $190
• Textbooks and workbooks: $220
• Laptop: $490
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

hope things get better soon, Tài. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Tài. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
