"With many students remote learning during the pandemic, our organization has received an increase in the request for laptops - not only from families, but also from schools and technology centers. At the same time, our corporate computer donations decreased, understandably due to companies offering employee telecommuting," states Ms. Phair. "I created the platform eight years ago and hadn't launched it. For me, challenges provide an opportunity to produce innovation and creativity – even during COVID-19," coined Phair.
