Glasgow
Beth earned a place in Year 10 at Glasgow Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $750, which is more than they have. Beth loves mathematics and wants to become a software developer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $750 goes: • Laptop: $340 • School uniform and shoes: $190 • Textbooks and workbooks: $210 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Jonathan

    hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Iztapalapa.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Beth

        • Jonathan E. HansonOwnerAnswer

          It's all in the list in the story. laptop is the big one at $340, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.

            So sorry you're going through this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
