68 year old vulnerable woman in transitional accommodation after escaping domestic violence, need laptop to continue studies

As a victim of domestic violence, 68 yr old woman escaped to Canberra from to re-establish her life. Still suffering from trauma, and feeling unsafe, she changed her name. She has no family nor friends in Canberra. She has been suffering from long term homelessness and has been struggling to keep up with her studies. She is trying to rebuild her life and committed to finishing her degree (Theology and Sociology). She urgently needs financial support to replace her old laptop which is on its' last leg and affecting her progress. Additionally, the old secondhand laptop she's been using is heavy and carrying all her textbooks, bag and taking the public transport has taken a toll on her physical health. She is diagnosed with sciatica. She is in financial stress and desperately needs a new laptop so that her studies are not disrupted. This will be a huge relief and one less thing to stress about in the midst of trying to find stable, safe and long-term accommodation.
