I earned a place in Year 11 at Kyoto Girls' High School, 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 $750, which is more than we have.
I love design and technology and want to become a software developer. 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 $750 goes:
• Laptop: $540
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50
• Textbooks and workbooks: $160
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Sota
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($125). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for textbooks and workbooks is now scheduled.
Quick update: $30 raised so far (4%). I made the first payment toward laptop. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

good luck, Sota. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Good luck, Sota. Study hard! Blessings.
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Cox's Bazar!
Rooting for you, Sota. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
good luck. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Jaipur this morning. God bless
