Sanjay earned a place in Grade 9 at the Ottawa Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,200, which is more than they have. Sanjay loves chemistry and wants to become an architect. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $1,200 goes: • Laptop: $700 • School uniform and shoes: $175 • Textbooks and workbooks: $220 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $105 Thanks for reading all this.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Varun. Hope this works out for you. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Los Angeles.

    • Hope you get there. My neighbor in Thane donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

      • Sending strength, Varun. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
