I earned a place in Form 4 at Santa Fe International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,050, which is more than we have. I love robotics and want to become a marine biologist. 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 $1,050 goes: • Laptop: $640 • Textbooks and workbooks: $220 • School uniform and shoes: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Ellie

  1. Update from Santa Fe: I made the first payment toward school uniform and shoes. We're at 85% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $107 raised so far (10%). the plan for laptop is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($517 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Santa Fe.

      Thank you. If you're in Santa Fe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

    Rooting for you, Ellie. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

      This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

        hang in there, Ellie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
