Lydia's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Help Lydia begin the first year of senior school with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇨🇦 Canada1,553 views
I earned a place in the first year of senior school at the Mississauga Selective 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 $900, which is more than we have.
I love graphic design and want to become a nurse. 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 $900 goes:
• Laptop: $350
• School uniform and shoes: $250
• Textbooks and workbooks: $200
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you peace, Lydia. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in The Hague this morning.

Thanks for sharing this, Lydia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Mississauga.
