I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hiroshi.
School uniform and shoes is $175 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
You're not alone, Kaori. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
how is Hiroshi doing now?
Rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Mar del Plata so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Keep going, Kaori. Study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
thanks for sharing this, Kaori. Shared it with a few friends.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hiroshi?
Thank you. If you're in Setagaya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Hope it all works out, Kaori. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.

Thinking of you and your family, Kaori. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Utrecht this morning. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Kaori. Hope this works out for you.
Hope things get better soon, Kaori. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Setagaya
Sending love, Kaori. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Sending strength, Kaori. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Rotterdam but we're thinking of you
