A Laptop for Robbie who needs it for school

Posted Sep 7, 2021
Robbie and his siblings were gifted a laptop last year which they shared for virtual learning. Robbie being the oldest of the siblings also used it for virtual therapy sessions and keeping in touch with a few friends. Unfortunately, one of the younger brothers broke the laptop and Robbie is devastated. Robbie doesn't ever ask for anything and is very parentified, helping out with his siblings as if he was their parent. The laptop was a lifeline for Robbie and now it's gone. The caseworker is requesting a new laptop for Robbie so he can continue to do his therapy sessions, communicate with his friends and have something he loved back. Robbie and the parents will try really hard not to allow the younger siblings near the laptop this time.

Robbie is 14 years old and lives in NJ

Robbie is the oldest of three boys and is mature for his age. He helps his parents around the house with chores and is great with his younger brothers. The family does not have a lot and Robbie doesn't complain or ask for anything. Robbie loves playing outside as they do not have any toys to play with. He is kind, caring and very responsible.
