A victim of abuse and a residential school survivor, Brenda had dropped out of school in Grade Nine. As an adult, she began working on her education and completed her high school studies in 2016. Now, she’s off to university, but first wanted to learn her way around on a computer.

Gillian, who works in a hospital in a small town in British Columbia, was born with low vision, and is now blind. She needed to learn how to use a smartphone and turned to the Neil Squire Society’s Distance Computer Comfort program.
