500th Child Receives Computer:
Houston fourth grader Amber McCray, whose home was lost in a fire
caused by Hurricane Ike in 2008, added another chapter to her family's
recovery story this week when she became the 500th child to receive a
computer from Comp-U-Dopt, Inc.
On a day she and 56 other local children took home donated computers,
Amber said, "I am so thankful to have this computer. I have been going
to the library or asking friends to work on their computers. Now, I can
work on writing and math on my own computer at home."
Amber's mother Linda added, "We lost almost everything in the fire. We are blessed to be in
another home, but Amber has been asking about a computer for as long as
I can remember. She loves school and she loves learning, and I want her
to have the opportunities that come with education. For kids now,
computers are an important part of learning."
Comp-U-Dopt founder John Osha said, "Comp-U-Dopt achieved an important
milestone this week with the support of our corporate and individual
donors, but we are just beginning to make a difference in the Houston
area with children like Amber.
As Comp-U-Dopt continues to grow, we are able to help more children.
Computer Adoption sessions are scheduled through the summer with
schools waiting for the new school year to begin so they can host an
adoption session for their students.
