Daniel envisioned building a new life, starting with finding employment.\u00a0 He needed help getting a computer and assistive technology to start exploring job opportunities and tap into his artistic side by drawing digitally.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thanks to the compassion and generosity of you, our Triumph supporters, Daniel now has 2-in-1 laptop.
