| Help Now | Laptop for educational purposesI am requesting consideration for the donation of a laptop for a single mother who is currently pursuing higher education while maintaining her recovery from substance use disorder. She has demonstrated a strong commitment to rebuilding her life through sustained sobriety, active participation in treatment and recovery services, and dedication to creating a stable future for herself and her daughter. As she prepares to begin college, access to a reliable laptop is essential for completing coursework, attending online classes, conducting research, communicating with instructors, and fulfilling academic requirements. As a single parent, she faces significant financial challenges while balancing the responsibilities of parenting, work, recovery, and education. Purchasing a computer is currently beyond her financial means, creating a barrier to achieving her educational and career goals. A donated laptop would provide more than just access to technology—it would be an investment in her long-term success, independence, and continued recovery. Education is a protective factor that supports financial stability, self-sufficiency, and sustained sobriety, allowing her to build a healthier future for herself and her family. Your generosity would help remove a significant obstacle and provide her with the tools needed to succeed academically while continuing the positive progress she has made in recovery. Thank you for considering this request and for supporting individuals who are working diligently to transform their lives through education and recovery.Submitted by: Havens of MN | Shakopee | No | 1787961600 | Active | |
