PandasMediumMid level~10 min

Problem

You are given a DataFrame `donations` with columns `donor_id`, `gift_date`, and `amount`. Each row is one gift to a community food bank.

Report the total amount donated on each **Saturday in March 2024**. For each such Saturday that had at least one donation, output `week_of_month`, `gift_date`, and `total_gift`, where `week_of_month` is which Saturday of the month it is (1 for the first week, 2 for the second, and so on). Order the output by `week_of_month` ascending.
