Good afternoon,

Tiffany  Jones was very excited to receive her brand new laptop computer today! We also outfitted the computer with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and gave her a printer to go with it! She is very grateful and will notify me when she is registered for her on-line classes. Thank you again to Benevolent and all the donors!

My need

I need a laptop so I can take online classes at home to become a licensed vocational nurse. This includes a laptop and printer.

I've decided to continue my education in the nursing field by becoming an LPN. I want to better my life and also my children's lives.

Meeting this need will help me because I can take online classes at home and also I can spend quality time with my children. Meeting this need will help me achieve future goals because I currently have my CNA license, so now I've decided to further my education in nursing. It will help me out a lot.

My situation

Right now, my biggest challenge is I'm not working and I can't afford to buy a laptop. I'm looking for work but it's very hard and I figure since I'm already certified that it would be easy to find employment.

I have known Tiffany since her oldest son started school here 3 years ago. She is well known at our school being active at school events and volunteering her time. Now her other son attends our school, as well.

I think meeting this need is important because having a computer at home is important for her so that she can take classes on-line. Also it will be useful for her children to have this resource to use for their homework. A computer at home is almost necessary for all families these days to keep up with what's going on at school and work.

This will move Tiffany's life forward by giving her the tools she needs to continue her education while still being able to spend the time needed with her children. It will also help her children to keep up with technology such as saving their homework on flash drives and also creating power point presentations.

Tiffany and her family are a well-deserving family that would get great use out of this laptop. Tiffany is looking forward to continuing her education while caring for her children and being a good example to them. I am happy to help her and her children and hope to see this need met.
