Donate Devices + Internet.

“Getting these devices has helped our youth in learning. Now, they will not be left behind because they have the opportunity to keep going and continue their education.”

-QUANGTRICE WILSON, Assistant Director

“I am passionate about education for the simple fact that it provides a way for the future, it opens the mind. There is something beautiful about constantly learning and learning, when you learn you connect with more people.”

-AMERIA ALLEN, Fair Future Supervisor and College and Career Specialist at Marian Hall

“Imagine doing 7 subjects a day on a cellphone! The devices from Community V COVID-19 are one way for our youth to regain academic connections, direct online support from their teachers, guidance counselors and advisors.”

-Good Shepherd Services Coordinator

“The kids having a laptop is the one thing that you need for college. I also think that when you don't have access to technology you are losing out and being put at a disadvantage, because if everyone else has access to this plethora of information that the internet provides, how can you possibly compete. Not only for college but in the workplace, in real life.”

-AMANDA MONOIA, Administrative Director at Marian Hall

“CvC providing these devices has allowed our youth to participate in their education and also remain connected to their friends and family.”

-EMILY FARO, Senior Director of Clinical and Social Services

“Today, as the world is really celebrating technology bringing people together, I sometimes don’t feel like a person anymore because I can’t properly access the internet.”

-A member of Fountain House

“The parents of one of our families work at a bodega, which is the only place they can get any access to wifi. They take their phone to work and download their children’s homework to bring it back to them at night. The children have no access to learning during the day. We need to change this.”

- A Director at PS292, Brooklyn

“Getting electronic devices just provides more access to our young people. Instead of them always constantly looking at their phones, they can actually use their computers to do more work, such as fill out job applications, complete an essay for school, or whatever educational and academic support that they need.”

-AMERIA ALLEN, Fair Future Supervisor and College and Career Specialist at Marian Hall

“Technology has been the key in keeping our members in touch with their friends and family.”

-EMILY FARO, Senior Director of Clinical and Social Services

“Getting these devices is going to really open up the door to put our girls on the same playing field as youth that are not in foster care. Our girls are going to be able to bust out papers, to look up the information they need to find, to have quick Zoom tutoring sessions. Technology access will open doors that they did not even know existed."

-AMANDA MONOIA, Administrative Director at Marian Hall

“I have a passion for education because it is something we acquire, and once we acquire it no matter what it can not be taken away from us.”

-QUANGTRICE WILSON, Assistant Director

“We are living in the 21st century and our youth all deserve access to 21st century skills that will align them for long-term success. Something as simple as consistent access to technology is empowering for the youth.”

- A Marian Hall employee

“Covid-19 has impacted our organization, mainly the youth. The youth are feeling it on a daily basis because of the social distancing, even access to certain spaces that provide them an overall boost in their morale, they do not have access to.”

-AMERIA ALLEN, Fair Future Supervisor and College and Career Specialist at Marian Hall

“We are incredibly lucky to have people like you that are so motivated towards the success of the students. We appreciate all that you do as you are part of the heroes on the frontlines that are truly making a difference.”

- CVC to Principal  Edwards, Mr. Reverez, and Ms. Jenkins

“One of our pillars at Marian Hall is predictability. Covid-19 has disrupted the predictability in our participants lives by changing their schedules. This has resulted in a loss of hope sometimes.”

-EMILY FARO, Senior Director of Clinical and Social Services
