Olivia is studying business administration on a phone; a used laptop would let Olivia do assignments properly.

I'm Olivia, a business administration student in Johannesburg. My laptop broke 2 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 Johannesburg.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Rooting for you, Olivia. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
rooting for you, Olivia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending strength, Olivia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending love, Olivia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Sending love, Olivia. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Tallahassee.
sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Love from Bengaluru
take care. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Thinking of Johannesburg.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Nuremberg.

Sending love, Olivia. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Malang.

You're not alone, Olivia. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Rochester this morning
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 30 people at work. Thinking of Johannesburg
You're not alone, Olivia. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together
