I earned a place in Form 4 at Saket Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $150, which is more than we have.
I love graphic design and want to become a teacher. 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:
• Textbooks and workbooks: $20
• School uniform and shoes: $40
• Laptop: $90
Thank you so much.
Updates from Lakshmi
Update from Saket: I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 63% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lakshmi!
Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and workbooks, $20. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Embakasi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Saket
