I earned a place in Grade 9 at San Francisco Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $800, which is more than we have.
I love robotics and want to become an engineer. 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 $800 goes:
• Laptop: $480
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $70
• School uniform and shoes: $250
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Peshawar.
hope it all works out, Laura. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Hang in there, Laura. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Düsseldorf.
