I earned a place in Grade 9 at San Francisco International 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 $1,250, which is more than we have. I love coding and want to become a nurse. 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 $1,250 goes: • Laptop: $680 • School uniform and shoes: $260 • Textbooks and workbooks: $260 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

                    Sending strength, Josephine. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

                    • Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Bhopal donated after I showed her your page.
