Laptops open doors for foster teens
TOA is proud to advocate for
Laptops Open Doors
. To me it’s a super simple idea with a big impact… what if foster teens kids got laptops?
(First, I had to imagine my life without a laptop and … I shudder the thought. Then thinking about my 17-year-old son Ryan who basically gets all his homework done, college research researched, etc etc done on his.)
Now imagine there are nearly 10,000 foster teens in L.A. County. That’s a lot. Without a laptop, normal high school is much harder. Research drags, teachers may not even know there’s no internet at home, and then grades suck. If some of those kids had access to a laptop all of a sudden:
- Homework gets done
- Group projects aren’t impossible
- College/job apps don’t stall out for lack of tech
An amazing law firm called
Albert & Mackenzie
lead by
Bruce Albert, Esq.
has partnered with
CASA of Los Angeles
and
Children’s Law Center of California
. Bruce is donating 200 fully function laptops to kick things off. Woot woot! 😀
If you don’t have 200 laptops, that’s fine. If you’ve got a gently used machine collecting dust, this is a great way to put it back in action.
Or ... you can sponsor at different levels like:
- $25 (accessories)
- $50 (refurb/setup)
- $100 (one laptop + charger)
- $200 (laptops + accessories for the kids who need them most)
TOA is in because this is real-world impact kinda thing. A laptop can facilitate schoolwork, college prep, job applications, everyday life! Join Bruce and let’s open some laptop opportunities together!
