“Taylor wants to do well at school. He’s trying so hard, but without the right tools he’s constantly falling behind - and he knows it.”
At 14, Taylor is living in out-of-home care and working hard to stay engaged at school despite the challenges he faces.
But without reliable access to a laptop, completing assignments, accessing online learning and keeping up with classmates is incredibly difficult. Every missed task impacts his confidence and puts him at greater risk of disengaging from school.
A laptop would help Taylor stay connected to learning, build confidence and keep working towards a brighter future. Right now, because of an unexpected funding gap, some critical Variety grants and programs may be delayed - including support that helps vulnerable children stay engaged in school.
Your donation today can help ensure children like Taylor don’t miss out on critical opportunities simply because help arrived too late. 👉 https://fundraise.varietynswact.org.au/urgent-appeal
