School supplies and a laptop for Quinn in Joliet
Quinn won a place at Joliet Science Academy but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Joliet Science Academy, 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 $950, 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.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $950 goes:
• Laptop: $750
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $70
• Textbooks and workbooks: $130
With deep gratitude,
Quinn

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Quinn
It's all in the list in the story. laptop is the big one at $750, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Quinn?
Thank you. If you're in Joliet I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
stay strong, Quinn. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Juazeiro do Norte.
rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
hang in there, Quinn. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you and your family, Quinn. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
