School supplies and a laptop for Samantha in Fort Worth
Help Samantha begin Year 10 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇺🇸 United States418 views
I earned a place in Year 10 at the Fort Worth Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $850, which is more than we have.
I love graphic design and want to become a pilot. 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.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $850 goes:
• Laptop: $470
• School uniform and shoes: $160
• Textbooks and workbooks: $195
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Samantha
Update from Fort Worth: the plan for school uniform and shoes is now scheduled. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Fort Worth
best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Fort Worth
Good luck. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Samantha.
stay strong, Samantha. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Hope it all works out, Samantha. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope things get better soon. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Stay strong. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
