Story
This computer is for a 17-year-old boy that was brought into custody in October of 2024. His mom is a single mother of three children. He has two 10-year-old twin siblings, one of which was placed in a local hospital due to her extreme medical needs and medical neglect. After many months recovering in the hospital, his sibling was finally healthy enough to be released into his grandparent's care alongside this 17-year-old boy. Throughout his life, this boy has always taken care of his siblings when mom couldn't. He cleaned the home, made meals, and helped the twins with homework. When he was placed into foster care with his grandparents, he was able to receive the parenting he desperately needed and started to focus on himself and his schoolwork. He now works 20 hours a week and attends full time school. He is very excited and motivated to attend college and is working to save money for a much-needed laptop. He has been able to save a small amount while he is fully supporting himself to take some financial pressure off of his grandparents. He has always been a supportive brother and has taken care of his siblings since they were born. Now that he has an opportunity to focus on his own life, he is really taking control and being a wonderful young adult. Please help him on this journey into adulthood by helping him purchase this laptop he needs and put a little gas in his tank to get him on his way!! Anything is appreciated, Thank you so much for considering his story!!
