Somsak won a place at Bangkok Boys' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

I earned a place in Grade 9 at Bangkok Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $300, which is more than we have.
I love mathematics and want to become a marine biologist. 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.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $300 goes:
• Laptop: $200
• School uniform and shoes: $25
• Textbooks and workbooks: $35
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Somsak
Small update. $75 so far, I made the first payment toward school uniform and shoes.
Update from Bangkok: the plan for textbooks and workbooks is now scheduled. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Somsak?
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
