Artur earned a place in Year 11 at Birmingham Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $350, which is more than they have.
Artur loves mathematics and wants to become an engineer. 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 $350 goes:
• School uniform and shoes: $180
• Textbooks and workbooks: $125
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Ryszard
Update from Birmingham: I made the first payment toward calculator, stationery and a school bag. We're at 126% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 22% funded and I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts.

Wishing you the best, Ryszard. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Artur?
shared this with my family. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
You're not alone, Ryszard. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Guarulhos.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Artur.
School uniform and shoes is $180 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Ann Arbor.
Praying for you, Ryszard. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Birmingham.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Rooting for you, Ryszard. Shared this with my family.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Birmingham.
