I earned a place in Year 11 at Ottawa Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $900, which is more than we have. I love robotics 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 $900 goes: • Laptop: $430 • School uniform and shoes: $140 • Textbooks and workbooks: $280 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50 Glad we found this place. - Sita

      Praying for you, Sita. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
