Noriko earned a place in Form 4 at Sakai Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $650, which is more than they have. Noriko loves chemistry and wants to become an architect. 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 $650 goes: • Laptop: $330 • School uniform and shoes: $90 • Textbooks and workbooks: $200 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $30 Glad we found this place. - Toru

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noriko

      • Toru Noboru SaitoOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

        Laptop is $330 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

    • Rolando H. Quizon

      Stay strong, Toru. Shared this with my family.

      • Luca Peterson

        Keep going, Toru. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
