These laptops we give (at no cost) to youth who can't afford them are changing lives every day. Here's a great letter we received this morning from one of our laptop recipients who just started college this fall: --- Dear Mr. Clements with Made New Makerspace, I wanted to sincerely thank you for your gift of the laptop. Your support means so much to me. As someone who has never had the money to make a purchase like this, I cannot begin to describe the excitement I felt when both receiving and being told I would be receiving a laptop for my schooling. This has made a huge positive change in my education, as I now am able to keep up with assignments, remain organized, and hear any announcements in my classes before I go to college for the day. You have granted me with an opportunity to succeed. Thank you now, and always, for your support in students like myself. With deep gratitude, ["L"] University of Nebraska at Omaha Class of 2029 --- On average, we give out a laptop a day, every day, all year round, and sometimes we have far more requests than we can manage. Your help makes the work we do possible. Consider helping us support more youth like this one by giving at https://madenewomaha.com/donate . Thank you! (fb)
