School supplies and a laptop for Elijah in London

Elijah won a place at London Boys' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Elijah earned a place in Year 10 at London 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 chemistry course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $400, which is more than they have. Elijah loves chemistry and wants to become a doctor. 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 $400 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $200 • School uniform and shoes: $165 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $35 Every share and every dollar helps.

  3. Update from London: I made the first payment toward school uniform and shoes. We're at 38% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
