A Laptop for James to use for middle school
Posted Jul 16, 2019
James is moving from Elementary school to Middle school in the fall and he will need a lap top for many assignments. His grandmother is very diligent and he will mainly be using the computer to do school work but he also loves to watch highlights from his games. His grandmother records his games and he likes to watch them back and learn from them.
James is 17 years old and lives in NJ
James has been living in foster care with his grandmother for nearly 4 years. He is thriving in his current home with his grandmother. James loves to be active and plays sports year round; football in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring. Basketball is his favorite and without doubt the one he plays best. A season ago his team won its league and James was named the MVP. Academically he is not the best student but he has done some good history projects that he enjoyed. He likes music and plays the Saxophone and Clarinet.

"The lap top was a huge hit because it arrived on adoption day! James was already very emotional because his adoption represented a fresh new start in his new family. The lap top was the icing on the cake. It sealed his sense of moving forward to a new school with the opening of new horizons. For a young teen who has largely been dealt a lousy card in life I want you to know that the lap top came at the perfect moment and the family have not stopped talking about it to all their friends ever since! Thank you for truly helping make James feel special and excited about his future. "
