Dell laptop for 16 y/o Elijah who lives with his biological siblings and is able to have so much support in his life
Posted Oct 18, 2016
Elijah would benefit from a laptop computer because he is enrolled in several online classes where he needs to do homework on the internet. He uses his family computer as much as he can, but with 6 other kids in the home, he reports that the computer is a pretty "hot commodity" and it can be hard to get the time in that he needs for all of his assignments. Elijah is very motivated and is excited to get his license this year, hopefully get his first job, and start thinking about where he would like to go to college.
Elijah is 23 years old and lives in OR
Elijah comes from a very large family. He is one of 8 siblings, whom were all taken into care when Elijah was just 6 years old. He has been in several homes in his past but landed in his forever home about 6 years ago and is going into a guardianship with his foster parents! Elijah has since been able to live with several of his biological siblings with this foster family and is able to have many natural supports and connections in his life. He enjoys watching tv, gaming, and doing activities with his boy scouts troop and youth group.
