Laptop for Rae to help finish college

Rae walked in her graduation ceremony this summer, but was informed afterwards that she had one more elective needed to receive her diploma. Rae has been diagnosed with MS and was in a car accident last year, which combined have taken a toll on her body. Therefore, she enrolled for an online course to finish her degree. However, Rae only has the use of her boyfriend's computer, and worries she wont be able to fully commit to the class if she does not have access to her own computer at home. Please help Rae graduate and receive her diploma!

Rae receives the gift from City Living NY!

"Thank you so much Cindy! Rae is truly remarkable, battling not only foster care but health challenges, and is determined to succeed. She cannot finish out her degree in person after a car accident, and so this one online class was so important. Your donation is changing her life and we cannot thank you enough. When I told Rae it had been granted, she literally screamed out; it was also about a week until her birthday so was an even more timely gift :) Thank you for believing and supporting former foster youth!!
