Every device has a story. Here are some of them.

The laptop I received helped me complete my GED online while working two jobs. I'm now enrolled in community college studying nursing.

Human-I-T recipient
East LA

Having my own computer meant I could finally apply for jobs without going to the library. I got hired as a warehouse supervisor within a month.

James T.
St. Joseph Center program
Venice

The tech training program gave me skills I never thought I'd have. Now I work in IT support. Funny how life works out.

My daughter can finally do her homework at home instead of staying late at school. It's changed everything for our family.
