Laptop for for Deasia to explore work from home opportunities

Posted Jan 24, 2024
Deasia, having aged out of foster care without personal transportation, faces significant barriers to accessing traditional employment opportunities that pay a decent living wage. A laptop would be a transformative tool for her, opening the door to many work-from-home opportunities. The impact of receiving a laptop extends beyond employment; it represents a lifeline toward a stable and self-reliant future. For Deasia, owning a laptop would not just be about having a piece of technology; it's about empowerment, access to opportunities, and the ability to provide for her family on her own terms. It's a gift of hope and a stepping stone towards a brighter, more secure future for Deasia and her children.

Deasia is 21 years old and lives in GA

Deasia aged out of foster care at 18 and faced homelessness with her two young children. Deasia's childhood was far from ordinary. She was constantly on the move, running away from foster care in an attempt to be with her mother. Determined to change her circumstances, she has secured a full-time job at a warehouse. Despite the challenges, including the lack of a license or transportation, Deasia's tenacity never wavered. She would walk miles, whether to work or to medical appointments for her children, demonstrating a level of commitment that is truly awe-inspiring. Her hard work and dedication paid off. Within just four months, after navigating through various shelter programs and relentlessly working towards stability, Deasia achieved a significant milestone – qualifying for an apartment. Moving in was a moment of triumph, a testament to her unwavering spirit and relentless effort.
