A HP laptop for Emma to help her learn more about technology

Posted Mar 18, 2024
Emma feels it is time to start learning more about what it means to be an adult. She has mastered how to use tablets and gaming systems but now would like to learn how to be more technology savvy with a laptop. She works well with them at school but wants to be able to continue to practice typing, researching, and using document apps while at home. Emma is extremely responsible, she cares for all of her belongings. She would be over the moon to receive such a generous gift. Emma is confident she can be more efficient in her homework if she has a laptop too.

Emma is 17 years old and lives in MO

Emma is a wonderful and sweet girl who, despite a mental handicap, does her very best to learn and work towards independence. She is determined to learn the necessary skills she will need to become more independent and eventually able to be on her own. She's an affectionate young lady who loves everyone, especially those who will give her big hugs! Emma has a creative mind and loves making those rubber band bracelets, she finds blue avatar to be the greatest thing ever and is obsessed with Squishmallows. Emma has faced a lot of challenges, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Emma was adopted as a young child and unfortunately later she was put back into the system. She has had to learn to trust the world again as she prepares to live in it as an adult. She worries a lot, but her caretakers try their best to make her feel loved, to teach her that there is good in the world, and to be a guiding presence in her young life.
