Henryk earned a place in the first year of senior school at Warsaw Boys' High 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 $400, which is more than they have.
Henryk loves design and technology and wants to become a doctor. 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 $400 goes:
• School uniform and shoes: $50
• Laptop: $280
• Textbooks and workbooks: $70
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Henryk.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. school uniform and shoes comes first ($50) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Good luck, Lena. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Warsaw.
Sending strength, Lena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
