Najarrrea is doing well in our independent living program. She would like to get a job so she can save money for a car and her own place this year. She says the financial aid check only provides enough to carry her through the academic school year. She has to purchase books and was only provided a loaner laptop last academic year. Since the pandemic, there have not been any laptops available. However, the school is offering tutoring hours to students. If she meets with tutors, she cannot work and go to school. She will thrive if she has a laptop to sign up for online classes and do her homework online.
