Diarmuid earned a place in Year 10 at Limerick Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $950, which is more than they have. Diarmuid loves mathematics and wants to become a software developer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He 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 $950 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $280 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $100 • Laptop: $570 Thank you so much. - Caoimhe

Updates from Caoimhe

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 61% funded and I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($447 in total) the plan for laptop is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 21% there. I made the first payment toward laptop. Thank you.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Diarmuid

      • Caoimhe O'RourkeOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. textbooks and workbooks comes first ($280) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
