I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Aberdeen Girls' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,150, which is more than we have. I love graphic design 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 $1,150 goes: • Laptop: $700 • School uniform and shoes: $175 • Textbooks and workbooks: $210 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $65 Thanks for reading all this.

    Praying for you, Isaac. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

        Best of luck, Isaac. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            Praying for you, Isaac. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Aberdeen.
