Back-to-school fund for Alka
Help Alka begin Form 4 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇮🇳 IndiaPosted Jul 28, 2026353 views
I earned a place in Form 4 at Chennai Girls' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $150, which is more than we have.
I love design and technology and want to become a doctor. 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 $150 goes:
• School uniform and shoes: $25
• Textbooks and workbooks: $35
• Laptop: $90
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Zapopan donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
good luck, Alka. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Chennai.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alka!
Sending love, Alka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Regensburg.
Keep going, Alka. Shared this with my family. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best

Keep going, Alka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Victoria so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Alka. Your post was clear and honest
