CASA NJ - Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem Counties

Helena is a resilient and determined young adult who has overcome significant challenges. After enduring years of childhood trauma, she has worked diligently in therapy and concentrated on her education. She graduated from high school with the second-highest GPA in her class and earned a Seal of Biliteracy.

Helena is a dedicated individual who has worked tirelessly to balance her studies while raising her child. Now, as she prepares to take the next step toward her dream of becoming a nurse, she has one wish: to obtain a laptop that will support her nursing studies. Having her own computer will enable her to complete her coursework, study efficiently, and stay organized as she pursues her goal of building a brighter future for herself and her child. As she embarks on her nursing program, reliable technology is essential for accessing online learning resources and managing her assignments. Although Helena diligently manages her savings, a laptop remains an expense she cannot fully cover on her own at this moment. By having her own device, she will have the necessary tools to succeed in her classes and move closer to realizing her dream of becoming a nurse.
