A laptop for Valentina to stay connected to her family back home

Posted Dec 12, 2022
Valentina wishes for a laptop for Christmas. She says she has some dolls to play with and someone gave her a bike so she and her sister go to the park together. Valentina misses her friends and family back home in Columbia. They keep in touch with her mother's phone but would like her own computer so that she can email and chat anytime she likes. A laptop would also help Valentina with her schoolwork and learning English. This would be a very special Christmas gift for Valentina!

Valentina is 11 years old and lives in NJ

Valentina and her family have just moved to New Jersey from Columbia. Valentina doesn't speak much English but speaks the most out of her family. She and her sister are often home together because they don't know anyone, and their mother doesn't speak any English. Valentina is a happy little girl who says hi to everyone with a huge smile. She started school and has made some friends but only sees them in school. Valentina loves dolls and anything other girls her age likes.

"Valentina screamed with excitement when she opened her gift. Her older sister opened hers first and she was excited thinking they would share it. When she opened her own she couldn't contain herself and said thank you over and over to her mother. Thank you for helping a struggling mother give her daughters not only an amazing Christmas but the tools to communicate with their friends and family back home and to assist them in learning English.
