School supplies and a laptop for Adalynn in Aberdeen
Adalynn won a place at Aberdeen Technical College but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇬🇧 Aberdeen, Scotland, United KingdomPosted Oct 1, 2026815 views
Adalynn earned a place in the first year of senior school at Aberdeen Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $800, which is more than they have.
Adalynn loves chemistry and wants to become a marine biologist. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She will take care of everything given and works very hard.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $800 goes:
• Laptop: $460
• School uniform and shoes: $155
• Textbooks and workbooks: $125
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($345 in total) I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

sending love. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My husband and I read this together. Love from Obuasi.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Üsküdar.
Hope things get better soon, Nova. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Thinking of you, Nova. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Aberdeen!
Take care. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Latina this morning. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Nova. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Aberdeen.
