School supplies and a laptop for Isabella in Philadelphia
Isabella won a place at Philadelphia Boys' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Philadelphia Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,000, which is more than we have.
I love coding and want to become a doctor. 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 $1,000 goes:
• Laptop: $530
• School uniform and shoes: $110
• Textbooks and workbooks: $240
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
