Jamie H. - Cumbria

Laptop computer for Jamie

10-year-old Jamie has dyslexia and his educational psychologist assessed that he would benefit greatly from the use of a laptop computer for use at home and at school.

Jamie's Mum managed to source and buy 3 recommended specialist programmes at a special discounted price and asked us to help by funding the cost of the computer.

We agreed to buy a laptop, which has now been delivered to Jamie. Jamie's caring Mum is liaising with his schoolteacher and has now written us a letter of thanks. Here is s short extract of what she said. "Thank you for helping Jamie, right now he is using this time to improve his spellings and typing skills. After SATs next week his class teacher says he can start taking his laptop into class. His reading and writing has improved, he is still behind his peers but everything we have done for him has made a marked improvement, his self esteem has been most noticeable. Thank you once again, we could never have afforded to buy Jamie this laptop." Lifeline 4 Kids wish Jamie good luck and look forward to being kept up to date with his progress.
