Short Description Of Project

At 32, I suffered a massive stroke while at work. The entire right side of my body was paralyzed. I was prepared to die. My job declined my request to return. I’m studying to get back on my own feet. I plan on completing college and becoming self-sufficient.

How Would A Laptop Help You?

I’m a student at community college in Florida. This semester, my favorite classes are Philosophy and Humanities. I also love literature. The faculty at my school are a tremendous inspiration. I can read and write assignments at home, without going to the library. Naturally I am right-handed, but due to paralysis on my right side, I am not able to write with that hand anymore. I’ve taught myself to use my left, but unfortunately my writing isn’t legible. Typing on a laptop will ensure I can actually read my notes. It would also allow me to make revisions to my schoolwork more easily, as well as do research.
