Fund Laptops for High Schoolers

Imagine you are a graduating senior in highschool, depending on technology to turn in assignments, contact friends, store important documents for your family, and express yourself creatively. Now imagine you are living in poverty, experiencing housing insecurity, struggling to get enough food, and with no safe or quiet place to study or do homework. However, you have overcome all these challenges and are about to graduate!

But imagine that your computer (perhaps the only technology you had) is taken away.

Graduating students experiencing homelessness/poverty often have their LAUSD school-issued laptops taken away, erasing years of personal files and memories and leaving them without computer access amid their other struggles. They have a great new horizon in front of them but lack a vital resource. Help us gift an under-resourced LAUSD student with a Chromebook to prepare them for their next stage in life and allow them to realize their dreams too.

We will be collecting donations to go towards purchasing multiple chromebooks. These will be distributed in collaboration with LAUSD to a group of graduating seniors experiencing poverty/homelessness. This event was held last year, and they were able to change three students' lives through donations. We are hoping this year to raise funds for ten chromebook donations.

We acknowledge the responsibility we have as fellow humans to ensure these students’ dignity, education, economic opportunity, and a better quality of life. Acknowledge that they are our future, too, and that ALL children matter.
