I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Birmingham Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $800, which is more than we have. I love chemistry 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. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $800 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $230 • Laptop: $500 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $70 Thanks for being kind about this. - Axel

Updates from Axel

  1. Small update. $141 so far, the plan for laptop is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Birmingham: I made the first payment toward textbooks and workbooks. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Small update. $55 so far, the plan for calculator, stationery and a school bag is now scheduled.
