Back-to-school fund for Adam
Adam won a place at Paris Science Academy but the family cannot afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
Anywhere in the world1,060 views
I earned a place in Grade 9 at Paris Science Academy, 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 $850, which is more than we have.
I love chemistry 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.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $850 goes:
• Laptop: $470
• School uniform and shoes: $165
• Textbooks and workbooks: $145
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Adam
Update from Paris: I made the first payment toward laptop. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 15% thanks to 5 of you. I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

Hope things get better soon, Adam. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Newport
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Adam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Sending love. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Love from Grenoble.

you're not alone, Adam. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Paris.
Sending strength, Adam. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Wishing you peace, Adam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Jabalpur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.

Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We're a small family in Sacramento but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you, Adam. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Rooting for you, Adam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care!
