Application Details

School Help-Laptop Needed | Cost to fully fund this application: 366.00 Modest Needs Points

I am a newly single mom and a victim of domestic violence. I stayed in the marriage for 13 years because I only finished 7th grade and am not able to get a job that supports me and my two small children, because my spine is degenerating and I can't stand or lift. I need to get some education so that I can get a sit-down job.

I have enrolled in college for computer classes and on-line classes, but I need my own computer so I will be able to do the work. I am using a friend's computer right now, but I have to give it back. With this leg up, I will be able to start my schooling and move toward a life without having to depend on a man. I hope you can help me Thank you very much.
