A laptop for Donna who wants a better life for herself and her son
Posted Mar 28, 2025
Currently, whenever Donna needs to work on a job, school, or ESL activities that require a computer, she borrows a shared laptop from the program where she resides. However, this laptop is sometimes in use by other residents, which prevents Donna from making progress towards her goals. With college plans in the works, Donna dreams of having her own laptop to assist with school assignments, job searches, and attending her virtual ESL class. Having a personal laptop would greatly support her as she strives for independence!
Donna is 19 years old and lives in NJ
Donna has been in and out of the child welfare system during her childhood and adolescence. Currently, she lives in a program for young teen mothers with her son, where she has been for the past two years. Despite lacking family support, she has earned her high school diploma and is committed to raising her son as a single parent. Donna's next goals are to attend college and find a stable job. She is also working to improve her English skills and has signed up for a virtual ESL class. Her only financial support comes from a small stipend, and she is responsible for all her son’s care and expenses. To make ends meet, she relies on garage sales and hand-me-downs, dreaming of a future where she can provide her son with opportunities she missed as a child.
