A Laptop for Patricia to help her become a Lawyer

Posted Jan 24, 2020
Patricia is requesting a laptop to assist her with finishing her FAFSA and college applications. She is very interested in becoming a lawyer. She indicated that she is motivated by the saying " be the change you want to see in the world". She would like to use her experience in child welfare as a motivator for future change. Patricia must go to friends’ houses to use their computers when she has assignments and to apply for colleges. This is difficult as the family has limited income and transportation access. Patricia worked hard to get to this point and took her future seriously, despite the many challenges she’s faced.

Patricia is 20 years old and lives in NJ

Patricia is a smart, resilient and caring young women. She has gone through a lot of changes in her life and is ready to embark on a new challenge - College. Through it all, Patricia worked hard in school and her studies and has set goals for herself and her future.

Andrea grants the wish for Patricia! Thanks Andrea.

"I'm a lawyer. One of my closest friends from college is too (in fact, she is a Dean at a Law School). She is getting remarried in a couple of months and asked for donations in lieu of gifts. I thought of no better way to honor her and our chosen careers than to help someone else get started on their way. I've been a lawyer for 30 years and find it rewarding in every way every day. I hope this helps you on your path to greatness!"
