Hello, I am a programmer, but I stopped a long time ago due to the situation in our country, and I want to work again. Please help me with some money to buy your brother’s laptop from Syria.

I don't have a brother in Syria, let alone one with a laptop, let alone a brother.

The thing is, when I work for a company I expect the company to provide the tools for the job. If you work as a programmer for a company they supply such things.
The last work I did used a heck of a PC. It was a laptop with the Core i9 CPU, 32GB RAM, the RTX 3070 GPU and all SSD. I think it was expensive but since it was a company owned laptop, I didn't have to pay for it.

Why can’t you use the computer you’re using to type this message?

That’s definitely not always the case, especially if you are working as a contractor.
Secondly, it seems he just wants to get his skills back up and build up his resume. I think the assumption is that he’s not currently hireable.
