Laptop

Single mum of five children with high complex needs and financial hardship needs laptop to pursue higher education.

Single mum of five children, all with complex needs and PTSD is experiencing extreme financial hardship. Mum has always prioritised the kid's health and wellbeing first, leaving very little time and space for herself and her own healing. Most of mum's income goes towards various therapies and services for her kids. Often times mum struggles to pay bills and has had to go without things such as internet and reliable transport in the past so that she can afford groceries and school supplies. There is a history of extensive DFV that has been a barrier for mum to pursue her goals and heal. Mum wants to pursue higher education to be able to financially support her family consistently in the future and set them up for success, as well as to achieve the goals that she has been restricted from going after in the past. Mum starts uni classes this semester and her old laptop broke - she needs a new one to learn and engage in class. Unfortunately, she won't be able to do this without support.
