Last August, Niki Mock drove her pickup truck from Bethesda to Southeast Washington, D.C., to deliver five refurbished laptops with web cameras just in time for Jamie Youngblood’s youngest kids to begin remote learning classes. She also brought donated bikes, scooters and clothing to Youngblood’s home.
“We were so excited,” says Youngblood, 44, whose nine children range in age from 7 to 25.
Mock and Youngblood stayed in touch after that visit and Mock has returned to Youngblood’s home several times, once hauling a sofa bed and a large dining room table that now serves as a remote-learning desk for the six school-age kids, and other times to drop off Halloween costumes and food at Thanksgiving.
