A New Laptop for Nyasia who is attending college remotely

Posted Nov 6, 2020
Nyasia is in her junior year of college. She is attending school virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nyasia's friend has been given her a used laptop that she uses while attending online school. Although she was very grateful for the computer, it is often slow and has issues with the battery life, causing her to sometimes lose almost completed assignments when it crashes.

Nyasia is 27 years old and lives in NJ

Nyasia has been in foster care for 8 years. She has incredible determination, and has overcome a lot during her time in care, including a learning disability, being separated from her sister, and having to work long hours at multiple jobs to make ends meet. She is now in college and living independently. She is majoring in sociology with the goal of becoming a social worker. What better person To do the job than someone who has lived it! Nyasia recently got a raise after working at Target for 2 years which she is super excited about!
