School supplies and a laptop for Yusuf in Los Angeles

I earned a place in Grade 9 at Los Angeles International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $550, which is more than we have. I love mathematics 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. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $550 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $45 • Textbooks and workbooks: $180 • Laptop: $325 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Yusuf
