Shakil won a place at the Birmingham Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Shakil earned a place in Grade 9 at the Birmingham Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $600, which is more than they have.
Shakil loves robotics and wants to become an architect. 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 $600 goes:
• Laptop: $400
• School uniform and shoes: $160
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

best of luck, Hossain. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
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!
thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Santa Fe but we're thinking of you.
Sending good thoughts, Hossain. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Dar es Salaam.
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My husband and I read this together. Love from Saket
