Ellen won a place at Nijmegen International School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
Anywhere in the world1,533 views
I earned a place in Grade 9 at Nijmegen International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $900, which is more than we have.
I love biology 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 $900 goes:
• Laptop: $490
• School uniform and shoes: $200
• Textbooks and workbooks: $115
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $95
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Ellen?
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Nijmegen.
so sorry you're going through this, Ellen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Ellen. Study hard! My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ellen.
It's all in the list in the story. laptop is the big one at $490, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Thanks for sharing this, Ellen. Study hard! My husband and I read this together
Wishing you the best, Ellen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
best of luck. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care!
thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck, Ellen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Nijmegen
take care, Ellen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Take care, Ellen. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Best of luck, Ellen. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
