School supplies and a laptop for John in Los Angeles

John won a place at the Los Angeles Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Los Angeles
I earned a place in Year 11 at the Los Angeles Selective 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 $1,000, 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 $1,000 goes: • Laptop: $750 • School uniform and shoes: $165 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $85 Glad we found this place.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for John

    • John R. SullivanOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. laptop comes first ($750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
