Back-to-school fund for Jack
Jack won a place at Birmingham Science Academy but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United KingdomPosted Sep 29, 20261,156 views
Jack earned a place in Year 10 at Birmingham Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $750, which is more than they have.
Jack loves chemistry and wants to become a marine biologist. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
He will take care of everything given and works very hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $750 goes:
• Laptop: $450
• School uniform and shoes: $85
• Textbooks and workbooks: $125
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $90
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out, Wayne. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Mumbai.
