Hello, my name is Rick and I am writing to apply for a free laptop from the government. I am a Father who does not earn enough money to buy one for my child who is turning college for the next academic year. My child is planning to enroll in a university where hybrid learning (both face-to-face class and online class) is still implemented. I worry that my child will have a hard time learning by only using a small and outdated smartphone. I hope that the government could help us out. Thank you.
