I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Yogyakarta Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $150, which is more than we have.
I love coding and want to become an architect. 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:
• Laptop: $70
• School uniform and shoes: $25
• Textbooks and workbooks: $25
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Irma
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

How is Irma doing now?
Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Sakai.
take care, Irma. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jakarta Barat
Best of luck, Irma. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Yogyakarta
