I earned a place in Year 10 at the Moscow Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $300, which is more than we have. I love design and technology 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 $300 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $25 • Laptop: $230 • Textbooks and workbooks: $45 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Viktoria

  1. Update from Moscow: we've started the first stage. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Viktoria

    Quick response, great follow-up

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Outstanding person

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
