Early beginnings
How It All Started
Over the past 5 years, I have been virtually tutoring underprivileged K-12 students from across the Greater Richmond area. Over time, I noticed that many of my students consistently struggled to attend class simply because they lacked a personal computer. Having worked one-on-one with these underserved students, I've come to understand the challenges students lacking personal devices face. By providing refurbished, high-quality devices, we seek to empower the next generation of learners and give every students an equal opportunity to succeed.
