James earned a place in the first year of senior school at Ottawa Girls' 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 $1,100, which is more than they have. James 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 $1,100 goes: • Laptop: $730 • School uniform and shoes: $170 • Textbooks and workbooks: $110 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $90 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Daniel

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($894 in total) the plan for school uniform and shoes is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $220 raised so far (20%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
