Used laptop wanted: Amani is studying software engineering without a computer
A modest, working laptop is all that stands between Amani and a full online workload.

I'm Amani, a software engineering student in Nairobi. My laptop broke 8 months ago and I've since been writing assignments and sitting online exams on my phone - it's slow, my work gets lost, and I'm falling behind.
I'm looking for a used laptop with at least 8GB of RAM and a working battery, or any laptop that can run a browser and word processor reliably. I can cover shipping if you can send it, or collect in Nairobi.
I'll take great care of it and be sure to share how my studies go. If you want to upgrade your own and have an old one in a drawer, you could make a big difference.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I'll check back for the next update.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
sending good thoughts, Amani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Nairobi.
Thinking of you, Amani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Nairobi!
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Take care!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Messina but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace, Amani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Nairobi

Hang in there, Amani. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Take care.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Nairobi
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
