Overview
I am a 23 year old man from Brooklyn born and raised. I've been trying to obtain a job but have been having difficulties. I'm unable to conduct efficient job search because I do not have the proper equipment.
My goals are to one day own my own business. I would like to open a non-for-profit to help individuals who's been arrested or incarcerated with an array of assistance and services.
I am in need for a laptop so that I can properly job search and apply for jobs. I'm unable to use my cellphone and due to COVID many training and vocational services are online and I'm in need of a laptop.
Meeting this need will help me because I can effectively job search. I would be able to participate invocational training that could prepare me an equippt me with the skills needed to maintain employment.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Jordan fund this need.
