Overview
I am a 19 -year-old, full-time student at YouthBuild. I spend most of my time working when I am not at school. I am working with YouthBuild on getting my high school diploma through Penn Foster, an online diploma program. It's important for me to be able to work from my home also, but I currently do not have access to a computer or the Internet.
My goals are to get through the YouthBuild program and be successful at a full-time career in construction. I would like to be completely independent and - some day - own my own home and be productive in society.
I need a laptop to finish my classes online and help with a few months of internet access.
Meeting this need will help me because I need to complete my high school diploma. Having access to a computer at home will help me do this so much quicker! Completing my diploma will allow me to graduate and work in construction as a carpenter's apprentice.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Geremias fund this need.

I have been working with Geremias at Youthbuild. He is very diligent and anxious to get his diploma and move on to a job in construction. Providing him with a Chromebook would enable him to work outside the classroom.
