“I still can’t believe these computers are finally ours. Our family is overwhelmed with happiness,” shared Yvania Penaloza. “Every one of us is a student, yet until now, not a single one of us had a computer at home.”
Yvania is studying to become an ultrasound technician, while her husband, James, is earning his associate degree with plans to pursue Environmental Science. Before receiving computers from Computers 2 Kids, they relied on library laptops that had to be returned every two weeks, making it difficult to keep up with their college coursework.
The computers are also opening new opportunities for their children. Ten-year-old Rosemary, an aspiring young writer, can now type stories like her new book, The Roller Coaster Problem, from home, while eight-year-old James Jr. can practice his school skills.
“We want to say a huge thank you to Cox for sponsoring this event. This gift is helping every member of our family pursue their education and reach their goals. We are incredibly grateful.”
