Does anyone know of a charity that could buy a laptop for an 11 year boy with autisum?

Question

He has autism, adhd and other complex learning difficulties. We are looking for charities other than family fund. The family it self are on benefits and can not afford to buy.

Answer 1

You could try Children In Need or your local Freecycle website: http://www.freecycle.org . Freecycle is a website based around local communities, where people give things they no longer need to people who can make use of the items.  It wouldn't be a new laptop, of course, but it would be working.  Hope one of these suggestions helps.

Answer 2

What's wrong with books?

Answer 3

If you e mail me with your approximate location, I can do some research for you.

Answer 4

Being a parent of a special needs child I've found it extremly difficult to get any help so all i can advise is get yr family and friends together and arrange a sponsered walk or head shave. Or even car boots and raise the money that way.

Answer 5

You could try the Nihal Armstrong Trust.
