Bowling Green
I earned a place in Grade 9 at Bowling Green International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,100, which is more than we have. I love design and technology and want to become a software developer. 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. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $1,100 goes: • Laptop: $590 • School uniform and shoes: $210 • Textbooks and workbooks: $195 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $105 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Álvaro

    Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

    • Michel Brunet

      Sending strength, Álvaro. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Take care.

      • Pedro Orozco

        Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 26 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.

        • Mason Peterson

          keep going. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in San Cristóbal de las Casas donated after I showed her your page

          • Renato Davi Oliveira

            Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Porto Alegre.
