A laptop for Melissa who needs to complete her homework

Posted Jun 14, 2017
Melissa needs a computer to complete her homework in the foster home. With a computer, Melissa will not miss assignments, can play at recess, and can participate in after school activities instead of using that time to do her computer assignments. The computer would also aid in educational purposes like Khan Academy and other educational programs.

Melissa is 17 years old and lives in NJ

Melissa is an exuberant girl who loves to dance, sing, cheer and color. She has been in foster care since June, 2016. Melissa wants to be a dancer and a teacher when she grows up. She plays the flute and loves going to school to be with her friends. Recently, her mother passed away and she is hopeful that her current foster home will become her permanent home.
