Tamsin's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Tamsin won a place at Auckland Boys' High School but the family cannot afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Auckland Boys' High 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 $450, 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.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $450 goes:
• Laptop: $310
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40
• Textbooks and workbooks: $100
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

How is Tamsin doing now?
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Santa Rosa.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tamsin?
Thank you. If you're in Auckland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Rooting for you, Tamsin. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Cox's Bazar donated after I showed her your page. Love from Cox's Bazar.
Hope this works out for you. Love from Johannesburg.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Aurangabad donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Aurangabad.
