Patrick won a place at London International School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Form 4 at London International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $700, which is more than we have.
I love robotics and want to become a pilot. 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 $700 goes:
• Textbooks and workbooks: $280
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $80
• Laptop: $340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($40 in total) I made the first payment toward laptop. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
