Shilpa won a place at Newcastle upon Tyne Science Academy but the family cannot afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Form 4 at Newcastle upon Tyne Science Academy, 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 $800, which is more than we have.
I love graphic design and want to become a marine biologist. 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 $800 goes:
• Laptop: $460
• School uniform and shoes: $120
• Textbooks and workbooks: $190
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $30
