Randall earned a place in Year 11 at Sacramento Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $900, which is more than they have. Randall loves mathematics 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 $900 goes: โ€ข Laptop: $630 โ€ข School uniform and shoes: $165 โ€ข Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $105 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Luke

  • Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Prayagraj but we're thinking of you. Blessings

      • Wishing you the best, Luke. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
