Dear Care Team,
I am reaching out to request support for a single mother facing financial hardship while working to build a better future for herself and her four-year-old child, who is non-verbal. As a low-income adult receiving SNAP benefits, she is determined to achieve financial independence and is actively working with CareerSource Palm Beach County to secure employment. To enhance her skills and career prospects, she has enrolled in a Digital Marketing Certification program at BrainStation.
However, a significant barrier stands in her way: she does not own a laptop, which is essential for completing her coursework. Unfortunately, no local agencies or community partners are able to provide this type of assistance, and she cannot afford to purchase the necessary equipment on her own.
Beyond this, she and her child are in urgent need of essential household and personal care items, including cleaning supplies, hygiene products, clothing, beds and bedding, and, if possible, a television to create a more comfortable living environment.

I made an error on this request. The laptop is the only item this client needs. All the other items are for a different client. I will send a different request for the client who does need the clothing and cleaning items. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.
