Terry earned a place in Year 11 at Hamilton Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $850, which is more than they have. Terry loves robotics and wants to become a software developer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $850 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $210 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $55 • Laptop: $585 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Michael

  1. Quick update: $385 raised so far (45%). I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Michael

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($525 in total) I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Stay strong, Michael. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

      Wishing you peace, Michael. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. All the best.

      • Keep going. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best

        • Hope things get better soon, Michael. Study hard! God bless.

          • you're not alone, Michael. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted.
