A laptop for Johnathan to excel in school

Posted Nov 22, 2024
Johnathan is fervently seeking a laptop, recognizing it as an essential tool that could empower him to thrive amid the tumultuous challenges of foster care. With the upheaval of moving frequently from one home to another, he has come to understand the transformative power of education; it serves as both his sanctuary and his beacon of hope for a brighter future. Unfortunately, the lack of dependable access to a functioning computer has turned his academic journey into a daunting challenge, making it difficult to complete assignments and conduct research for school. Having his own laptop would revolutionize his ability to stay organized, allowing him to manage tasks effectively and meet deadlines with confidence. It would grant him the freedom to access a wealth of learning resources from any location, transforming his study sessions into focused, productive experiences. This device would represent far more than just a piece of technology; it would be a pivotal gateway for Johnathan—enabling him to stay on course, fulfill his ambitions, and lay the foundation for the life he envisions.

Johnathan is 19 years old and lives in NY

Johnathan has never had the luxury of feeling truly settled. Moving from one foster home to the next, he learned early on that nothing ever stayed the same. Sometimes, he would wake up in a room that wasn’t his, surrounded by new faces, not knowing if he would be there for a week or a year. His belongings were always packed in a small bag, ready to be carried to the next place, and “home” was a word that felt more like a distant memory than a reality. But through all the upheaval, one thing kept him grounded: his love for learning. School was his escape, his safe space where he could imagine a future beyond foster care. It was the one constant he could count on. Whether it was reading, solving math problems, or dreaming about college, learning gave him a sense of purpose, a belief that he could build a life for himself, even if his present felt uncertain.
