Mary is a young mother who has recently transitioned out of foster care. While caring for her baby, she works and actively pursues higher education and better employment opportunities. To take this next step, Mary needs the number one essential supply for success in college, a laptop. Having access to a laptop would empower her to complete coursework, apply for scholarships and jobs, and stay connected to the resources that will help her thrive. With this support, Mary will feel far more capable of beginning college and advancing toward a brighter future for herself and her child.
