Graduation present for my son

My family's world was turned upside down March 6th when my husband received his heart transplant and then he passed away on April 10th.

Even with everything my family has been through in the last month and a half, my son is determined to graduate from 8th grade at the top of his class.

My husband and I had talked about getting him a new laptop as a graduation present for all his hard work.

As you can imagine, money is very tight right now and I can't afford to buy him the laptop. I know my son will be understanding and won't complain, but he's 13 and deserves something for all his hard work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
