Melanie's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Melanie won a place at Munich Technical College but the family cannot afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Grade 9 at Munich Technical College, 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 $1,000, which is more than we have.
I love graphic design and want to become a teacher. 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: $570
• School uniform and shoes: $180
• Textbooks and workbooks: $165
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best, Melanie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Coventry.
rooting for you, Melanie. Study hard! Love from Thessaloniki
so sorry you're going through this. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. God bless.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Thinking of Munich.
Study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
