Ruby's school year: uniform, books and a laptop

Ruby won a place at the San Francisco Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Year 10 at the San Francisco Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,050, which is more than we have. I love mathematics 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 $1,050 goes: • Laptop: $550 • School uniform and shoes: $100 • Textbooks and workbooks: $290 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
