I earned a place in Year 11 at Colorado Springs International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,000, which is more than we have. I love biology 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. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $1,000 goes: • Laptop: $530 • School uniform and shoes: $230 • Textbooks and workbooks: $120 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $120 Glad we found this place.

    wishing you peace, Ivy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Lagos

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ivy?

      • Ivy S. GilbertOwnerAnswer

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about laptop, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.

    • Fiona L. Abrahams

      Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best

        This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

          Good luck, Ivy. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
