I earned a place in Grade 9 at Leeds Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $800, which is more than we have.
I love graphic design and want to become an architect. 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.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $800 goes:
• Laptop: $390
• School uniform and shoes: $155
• Textbooks and workbooks: $190
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $65
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Doris. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Phoenix so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Leeds.
you're not alone, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Parma.
best of luck, Doris. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Leeds.
Thinking of you, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Please keep us posted. Love from El Paso.
