Hlengiwe earned a place in Grade 9 at Paarl Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $300, which is more than they have.
Hlengiwe loves biology and wants to become an engineer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She will take care of everything given and works very hard.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $300 goes:
• Laptop: $195
• School uniform and shoes: $40
• Textbooks and workbooks: $35
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hlengiwe.
Sure. The biggest one is laptop, $195. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
rooting for you, Sipho. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Paarl.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ciudad de México donated after I showed her your page.
