I earned a place in Year 11 at Vancouver International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,050, which is more than we have. I love coding and want to become a nurse. 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 $1,050 goes: • School uniform and shoes: $160 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $95 • Laptop: $795 Thank you for reading my story. - Thomas

          Rooting for you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Leeds.

              Take care, Thomas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
