Description
As we saw during the pandemic, remote learning and remote work are successful and often critical to the functioning of the workplace, educational institutions, and society at large. Providing laptops to those who cannot afford them and who may be marginalized due to disability opens up a world of possibilities for integration into their communities. In 2020, NF Tennessee, Inc., was able to give new laptops to 3 persons with NF. In 2021, we provided 4 new laptops. In 2022, we hope to give an additional 5. Recipients are chosen based on how they will use the laptops to positively affect their communities. The ripple effect to the community reaches far beyond the individual recipients. Their integration into their communities positively affect them, the NF community, and those they reach through their work, education, and outreach, such as children and adults with disabilities. Laptops also provide a stronger connection to medical care through the rapidly expanding use of Telehealth.

NF Summer Camps: We plan to provide financial scholarships to children/young people to attend summer camps. NF Camp New Friends is sponsored by the NF Network for campers aged 7-17. Camp Kostopulos (Camp K) is supported by The Children's Tumor Foundation. This camp has been held virtually for the past two years due to Covid 19, and we are hopeful that the camps will resume in-person in the summer of 2022. Many who have attended these camps in the past have reaped life-long benefits.
