Cynthia earned a place in Year 11 at Birmingham Girls' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $400, which is more than they have.
Cynthia loves graphic design and wants to become an architect. 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 $400 goes:
• Textbooks and workbooks: $210
• School uniform and shoes: $105
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $85
Thank you so much.
