Albany
Randall earned a place in Year 11 at Albany Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,050, which is more than they have. Randall loves robotics and wants to become a pilot. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $1,050 goes: • Laptop: $440 • School uniform and shoes: $180 • Textbooks and workbooks: $290 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
