computersThe Gift of Technology

By far the most requested gift this season is an Ipad or laptop computer. Many of the teens we talk to take public transportation to school at 6:00 AM and after tutoring or afterschool activities do not return home until after 7:00 PM. Manay stay after school to finish their homework, as the only computer available to them is at school. Anything that helps make their life more efficient is very much in demand and greatly appreciated.

Refurbished or new Laptop w/ software -$500
Used Ipad- $250

“I was embarrassed to ask my parents for a pair of running shoes because I knew that they could not afford them.  I don’t know what I would have done without A Bridge for Kids and my most generous and wonderful Sponsor!”
Angel, Castle Park High School- Class of 2015 and UC Berkeley Class of 2019

Testimonial

"Something the ABFK family has done for me apart from being some sense of financial help, it has also helped me find other members who I can talk to thanks to the connection my sponsor brought among us. It also gave me a boost of confidence that there will be people along the way that have faith in my goals and are willing to help me get to the dreams I once thought of impossible. It has also helped me recognize that I too want to be able to one day give back to the community and become a sponsor as well."
