Desire Clemons stood on the front porch of her Washington Terrace home, eyes brimming with tears, as she watched members of Raleigh’s Digital Connectors say their goodbyes.
“Praise the lovely God that we have people out here who are thinking of others,” Clemons said. “I feel very lucky.”
Clemons is one of dozens of Raleigh residents who has received a much-needed refurbished computer — for free as part of the Wired Wednesday project. She understands how critical it is to bridge the digital divide, especially since her teenage daughter is doing schoolwork remotely.
“My daughter was struggling with an old laptop that just didn’t work,” Clemons said. “Then, this program popped up in my neighborhood. It has been a blessing.”
