“All the things that you all do so easily was a challenge for me, and that goes back to my disabilities. [Even a] little thing for me is three times harder than for everybody else. I didn’t know anything — nothing — but to check my emails and go on the web.”

“The Digital Jumpstart program provided me with an improved comfort level with the computer with help from a one-on-one instructor. I also received a laptop, an ergonomic mouse, a keyboard, as well as a headset. I am retired so I will not be searching for work, but this program helped me with my understanding of computers and technology.”
