I earned a place in Form 4 at Mumbai Science Academy, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $105, which is more than we have.
I love robotics 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.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $105 goes:
• Laptop: $55
• School uniform and shoes: $15
• Textbooks and workbooks: $30
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mumbai.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Quezon City this morning. Take care
What exactly is the $105 for?
Sure. The biggest one is laptop, $55. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you peace, Prakash. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
wishing you the best, Prakash. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
You're not alone, Prakash. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Take care.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted
Take care, Prakash. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
