My Project

Hello, my name is Mr. Bratton. I am in desperate need of a new laptop for work and my students. I had an apple laptop but it was recently stolen while I was in the hospital. Having the apple laptop was very important and awarding. I wrote music on it, taught and shared music with my students, and did all assignments for my general music classes. I am asking for help, please. I was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and is currently doing dialysis. I can't get another computer myself right now due to all the medical bills and medicine I have to get now. I will be returning back to work in October. However, with my laptop being stolen while I was in the hospital, I can't doing anything. Everything was on that laptop. If you can, please help me!!!!
