I earned a place in Year 10 at Sheffield 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 $850, 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 $850 goes: • Laptop: $540 • School uniform and shoes: $115 • Textbooks and workbooks: $120 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $75 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kai

Updates from Kai

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 69% funded and I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts.

  2. We're at 46% thanks to 14 of you. the plan for textbooks and workbooks is now scheduled. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($189 in total) the plan for textbooks and workbooks is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
