A laptop for Marlene who desires to pursue career in the healthcare field

Posted Sep 3, 2024
Marlene, a young woman who was removed from placement after enduring abuse, has spent years healing and rebuilding her sense of self. Now, with a renewed sense of purpose, she is determined to return to school and pursue a career in the healthcare field. Her goal is to help others, drawing on her own experiences to provide compassionate care and support. Marlene feels a deep connection to the community that once supported her, and she dreams of working on the reservation where her roots lie. She is eager to learn more about her culture and to become more involved with her tribe, giving back to those who helped her find her strength. As she looks forward to returning to school, Marlene knows that having a laptop would be an invaluable tool in helping her succeed on this journey.

Marlene is 20 years old and lives in CA

Marlene is a reserved but happy young adult. She and her sister were removed from their parents and placed with relatives. Unfortunately, they experienced more abuse with the relatives that lead them to be removed again. She is now in a wonderful, stable placement with a loving family. She recently decided she would like to go back to school to become an ultrasound technician.
