"A student has had a major turnaround since getting one of those computers, ranging from school work to English acquisition, to even her mental health telecounseling. Thank you for these!"

The donation of 10 beautiful iPads has been amazing for Tech Kids Unlimited. Not only are we using them to do animation workshops with our neurodiverse students, but they are also a great way for students who become dis-regulated or anxiety-ridden to take a breather/break and have a fun time to watch a favorite video or play a game. Thank you so much!

Executive Director, Tech Kids Unlimited

I do not currently go to school, but I would like to study a University career in the future. I am 31 years old, and am interested in the field of Industrial Engineering. Prior to having the computer, I would help my children with their homework on a piece of paper, but I urgently needed the computer to search for more information to help them. The computer has currently been helpful in my investigations and also in managing all my work. It will also help me and my children in our scientific and technological learning.

With the new computer, I can use it to do all of my school work. I can complete all my assignments easily. Having my personal computer makes me feel like I have more privacy. I have a computer that is separate and only mine, and I am grateful I was able to get one.

Eunice Park, 6th grade

Before receiving the computer I would do my work on paper, but it took time and was difficult to manage by the end of the week. My family and I really needed the computer to sort through our immigration details, particularly all of the paperwork. Having this computer has helped me focus on my studies and teaches me how to use technology, as I get to learn how to use the internet and the machine.

I’m from Colombia. I go to a Dual Language middle school. I am 12 years old. I like reading, mathematics and Spanish. I couldn't do my homework and I had to do homework on paper and I needed the computer a lot because my parents can access the sites without problems and me to be able to do my homework and complete it.

Aishal, 7th grader

Having a computer is very important to me because it allows me to conduct research and find out more information about things that interest me. Right now I am applying to college and use my new computer to write my essay and complete the Common Application.
