Computers Given to Needy Seniors

HSP intern David with some donated computer equipment.

Today, Humanitarian Service Project was happy to deliver computers to two of the needy seniors enrolled in our Senior Citizen Project. For many of us, it is hard to think about what life would be like without a personal computer. However, the needy seniors we serve are already struggling to make ends meet dealing with necessities like rent, so purchasing a computer is far beyond their means. For this reason, we at HSP are glad to have been able to provide these computers, knowing that they will be of enormous help to the seniors that received them.

The computers today were delivered to the seniors by HSP volunteer Bernie Bartelli. Throughout the past few weeks, Bernie and two other great supporters of HSP, Mike Reich and Dick Adamo, have graciously given their time preparing donated computers to be given to needy seniors. HSP wishes to thank these three for all their generous support, enabling us to provide these seniors with computers. Of course, we also wish to thank all of those who have donated computers and computer equipment for our seniors, as well.

Donated computers will be very helpful to our needy seniors, providing new avenues of communication and other useful functions. If you have a computer you no longer use, please consider donating it to HSP for a needy senior. We also get a lot of requests for laptops, from seniors who would have too much difficulty sitting in front of a desktop. Please call HSP at 630-221-8340 with any questions you may have.
