Laptop needed for work

I am working with a client who lost her job due to two hospitalizations for pregnancy complications (she suffered an ectopic pregnancy and septic infection). She is trying to find new employment but is hindered by lack of transportation. She has skills and desire to work, and could secure a remote position that would cover her expenses, but she does not have a working computer. This woman helps support her sister who has mental health challenges, and her sister's two children. She has never been late on rent before, and is attending counseling that we are providing. We would like to help her get back on her feet by giving her the tools to get a new job.

Single Mom Needs Class to Keep Working

Single mom of 6 is working at a daycare so she can take her baby to work with her while the other kids are in school. She needs to update her CPR certification but can't afford the class. She could also use help making this month's rent, since her pay is lower than her previous job, but she is saving on childcare. Dad is not working due to mental health issues, so this mom is supporting everyone and trying very hard to keep everything together. She needs $150 for the class, and $600 for rent help.

Expecting Mom Fleeing Domestic Violence Needs Help

I am working with a client who has left a domestic violence situation and is expecting her first baby. She has recently found employment at a job with a good wage, and wants to make a stable home for herself and her baby. However, due to her past situation, she has past due rent and her phone has been disconnected, limiting her ability to access other services. Client has made progress in paying down half of her past due rent, but needs to pay the rest to avoid eviction and become homeless while pregnant. Having her phone back would also help her achieve stability.
