Peyton's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Peyton won a place at Orlando Boys' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Orlando Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $950, which is more than we have.
I love biology 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 $950 goes:
• Laptop: $390
• School uniform and shoes: $200
• Textbooks and workbooks: $280
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $80
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Peyton.
Sure. The biggest one is laptop, $390. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
thanks for sharing this, Peyton. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
how is Peyton doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Peyton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Tiruchirappalli.
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
