A HP laptop for Emma to help her learn more about technology

Posted Mar 18, 2024
Emma feels it is time to start learning more about what it means to be an adult. She has mastered how to use tablets and gaming systems but now would like to learn how to be more technology savvy with a laptop. She works well with them at school but wants to be able to continue to practice typing, researching, and using document apps while at home. Emma is extremely responsible, she cares for all of her belongings. She would be over the moon to receive such a generous gift. Emma is confident she can be more efficient in her homework if she has a laptop too.

Emma is 18 years old and lives in MO

Emma is a wonderful and sweet girl who, despite having a mental handicap, works hard to learn and strive for independence. She is determined to acquire the necessary skills to become more self-sufficient and eventually live on her own. Affectionate and loving, Emma adores everyone, especially those who can give her big hugs! She has a creative mind and enjoys making rubber band bracelets. Emma also thinks blue avatars are fantastic and has a particular obsession with Squishmallows. After being adopted as a young child, she was unfortunately returned to the system. Since then, she has been learning to trust the world again as she prepares to step into adulthood. Though she worries a lot, her caretakers do their best to make her feel loved, teach her that there is kindness in the world, and serve as a guiding presence in her young life.
