A Laptop for Nikedra who is starting college

Posted Apr 6, 2020
Nikedra was accepted to her top choice college while completing high school as a young mother. Her wish is for a laptop for college. Although Nikedra is working, she is not able to put aside money for this college essential. She plans to be enrolled in classes starting in the summer term, and knows she will need a computer every day. *Please note that the value of the wish includes shipping and tax. Inventory on laptops has also been very limited so we allow for a higher price point to give us more options. As always, if we can find a laptop for less than the value here, remaining funds are used to grant more wishes.

Nikedra is 22 years old and lives in MA

Nikedra is an avid student, and a dedicated mother. She and her baby have been living in a program since her baby was born two years ago. As a teen mother, Nikedra has matured quickly, and been incredibly successful in balancing her life as a mom, with her life as a high school student. She stayed focused, and worked hard, finished high school and was accepted to her top choice college. She is currently working full time, and finalizing her financial aid application, plans for college, and getting her own apartment for her and her daughter.
