Anywhere in the world2,631 views
Sita earned a place in Grade 9 at Newcastle Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $1,050, which is more than they have.
Sita loves coding and wants to become a nurse. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She will take care of everything given and works very hard.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Laptop: $590
• School uniform and shoes: $185
• Textbooks and workbooks: $195
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck, Ritu. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Newcastle
How is Sita doing now?
Best of luck, Ritu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Monterrey.
Stay strong, Ritu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Mangaluru.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sita
Sure. The biggest one is laptop, $590. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Thinking of Newcastle.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sita?
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Ritu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours
wishing you the best, Ritu. Shared this with my family.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Cairo
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Hang in there, Ritu. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Newcastle
Thinking of you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Stay strong, Ritu. Shared it with a few friends
