Through a friend who taught at a college, my husband and I learned of one student who was a single mom trying to juggle school and work without a computer at home. She often couldn’t complete assignments because the library hours didn’t always correlate with her work schedule. We purchased a laptop for her. She was incredibly grateful and although we never met in person, she kept in touch and proudly sent us her graduation announcement two years later.

Helping that young mother have a necessary tool to complete her education brought us so much joy! We know how much we rely on our laptops to accomplish tasks and were just so happy to be able to help her reach her academic goals.
