Amanda

Amanda is a 17 year old from Northern Virginia who just graduated from high school and is now attending a local university in the computer science program. The Eric Fund awarded Amanda an iPad Pro in 2016 when she was in middle school. Her university experience requires a device with more robust capacity. Amanda has a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegia. She uses a wheelchair and often relies on assistive devices, adaptations and adult assistance to pursue her education. The upgraded laptop will allow her to participate in a more advanced university computer science program. Amanda’s mother said, “This device will benefit Amanda to transition between features seamlessly and gain more independence.” Amanda sent a thank you note to The Eric Fund, saying, “The laptop is amazing. Words can’t explain how appreciative I am of this laptop. It will be extremely useful for furthering my education.” We are delighted to be able to help Amanda on her next chapter in college
