Alonzo

For Alonzo, the iPad Pro and protective case purchased for him by The Eric Fund, will be a game changer for his socialization and future employment.

Alonzo, 38, who has cerebral palsy and other disabilities, lives in Northern Virginia with his parents. When stores and services shuttered during the pandemic, Alonzo was unable to continue working at a local retail store. The lack of employment and socialization from his job and with friends and family impacted him greatly.

With most of his siblings living away from home, the iPad will help Alonzo maintain important

connections with friends and family that are so vital to his well-being. Alonzo will also use the iPad to continue to read, write and draw, which he enjoys.

In addition to forging important connections with loved ones, Alonzo can use his iPad to help him obtain and maintain employment and improve job skills. The Eric Fund is thrilled to provide the iPad Pro to Alonzo to help him continue to advance his independence, connect with loved ones and further expand his world, especially during these challenging times.
