School supplies and a laptop for Emilia in Syracuse
Help Emilia begin Form 4 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇺🇸 United States1,261 views
I earned a place in Form 4 at Syracuse Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,350, which is more than we have.
I love chemistry 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 $1,350 goes:
• Laptop: $740
• School uniform and shoes: $280
• Textbooks and workbooks: $250
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $80
Thanks for reading all this.
