Laptop

Manjimup WA 6258

I am writing to you with great hope and humility to request your support for a remarkable 17-year-old young woman who is navigating extraordinary life circumstances with courage and resilience. Despite her young age, she has taken on the full-time responsibility of caring for her father, who lives with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) — a debilitating condition that causes daily seizures and significant physical and emotional challenges. As her father’s primary caregiver, she manages complex daily tasks and provides emotional and physical support, all while trying to pursue her own education and future goals. This young woman has recently enrolled in full-time study with the goal of becoming an Education Assistant. This is the first time she has been able to do something purely for herself — a step toward independence, purpose, and a brighter future. Unfortunately, her family is unable to provide financial assistance due to ongoing health and financial hardship. A laptop would make an enormous difference in supporting her studies, enabling her to complete coursework, attend online learning sessions, and stay connected with her education providers. Your donation would not only assist her in achieving her educational goals but also empower her to build a sustainable future for herself and her father. Your generosity would have a lasting impact on a young person who has given so much of herself to care for others.
