Minato's school year: uniform, books and a laptop
Help Minato begin Year 10 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇯🇵 Fukuoka, Fukuoka, Japan634 views
I earned a place in Year 10 at Fukuoka Science Academy, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $550, which is more than we have.
I love design and technology and want to become a nurse. 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 $550 goes:
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40
• Laptop: $410
• Textbooks and workbooks: $100
With deep gratitude,
Minato
Updates from Minato
Quick update: $95 raised so far (17%). I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) the plan for laptop is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Fukuoka: we've started the first stage. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Minato

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Minato
It's all in the list in the story. calculator, stationery and a school bag is the big one at $40, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Best of luck, Minato. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Fukuoka.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings!
