School supplies and a laptop for James in Riverside
James won a place at Riverside Technical College but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇺🇸 Riverside, California, United States2,651 views
I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Riverside Technical College, 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 $1,200, which is more than we have.
I love chemistry 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 $1,200 goes:
• Laptop: $620
• School uniform and shoes: $220
• Textbooks and workbooks: $270
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace, James. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Hang in there, James. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 31 people at work.
Keep going, James. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. God bless.
Take care, James. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Athens.
