School supplies and a laptop for Jamal in Birmingham
Jamal won a place at Birmingham Technical College but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,181 views
Jamal earned a place in Grade 9 at Birmingham Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $1,050, which is more than they have.
Jamal loves graphic design 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 $1,050 goes:
• Laptop: $540
• School uniform and shoes: $85
• Textbooks and workbooks: $300
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $125
With deep gratitude,
Zahra

Sending love, Zahra. Study hard! I hope December is when things finally get easier.
So sorry you're going through this. Study hard! It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Praying for you, Zahra. Shared this with my family. Blessings.

Good luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Cairo
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Birmingham.
Sending love. Hope you get there. Love from Tijuana.
