SAN DIEGO — In a bustling warehouse in Miramar, mother and daughter Dora and Amorisa Almeraz are looking over a new laptop. For a mere $100 she was able to buy her daughter a refurbished laptop.
"Have you installed any games on it?" whispers Dora to her daughter. The laptop is provided by San Diego non-profit Computers2Kids, an organization that provides computers to underprivileged families in San Diego.
"Computers are no longer a luxury, they're a necessity," says Computers2Kids CEO Cheri Pierre, "When you don't have a computer at home it places you at a disadvantage."
She says that disadvantage is most noticeable now when schools are moving kids online. With so many families in need of a computer, the organization is asking for help.
"San Diego could be a huge help by donating their computers and cash to cover the cost of refurbishment," says Pierre
