Overview
Hi, my name is Shani. I'm 37 years old and my goal is to become a real estate agent. I have survived domestic violence and two strokes in the past. I have struggled for a long time with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder I used to be a home health aide for over five years and although it was a positive experience, I came to learn that it wasn't my long-term goal.
My goal is to become a real estate agent. For this, I need to pass licensing exams and I also need to attain a high school diploma. At this point, I am two exams away from getting a real estate license so I have been trying my best and making progress towards my goals.
I need a laptop computer and a printer. I have very limited income and it is hard for me to obtain equipment to further my goals.
With a laptop computer and a printer, I will be able to further my studies online. I will have the necessary items to attain my high school equivalency diploma and study for licensing exams. Having a laptop computer and printer will really help me take the needed steps to become a real estate agent.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Shani fund this need.

My name is David and I have been Shani's social worker for about three months now. I was actually the staff member to give Shani a tour of her apartment here over two years ago and since then, I have always been so moved by her resilient spirit and her positive attitude. She has always been very motivated, and even with her struggles I will always find her smiling and cracking jokes. I can attest to the unfortunate fact that Shani's only source of income right now is Public Assistance, which means that often she is struggling to survive. I want to support her goal of becoming a real estate agent, and I hope that you can help her achieve it. Thank you so much.
