NYC 12-year-old donates 200 laptops to students through GoFundMe
Fox News
Daisy Hampton is just 12 years old, but she is already making a significant difference in her New York City community by donating laptops to kids in need.
Now, however, the nonprofit is connecting kids with more than just each other; Daisy has donated 200 laptops to kids in need since the COVID-19 pandemic forced a shift to online learning. "In my past school, I saw kids that had disabilities were being made fun of, and kids facing economic disparities were missing out on a lot, especially during remote learning," Daisy told Fox News. "When that started, I saw that kids who didn't have access to internet weren't able to attend school, and they were missing out on so much of their education, and the schools weren't really doing as much as they could have to get computers out to kids." Hampton, Daisy's mother, said that while the teachers at Daisy's old public school were great, other administrative issues and unforeseen circumstances left some students without laptops even as classes started taking place online last March.More Related News
