At Digitunity, we believe that owning a computer is foundational to education, employment, and community connection. Recently, Digitunity’s Operations Manager, Donna Fuentes, had the great privilege of attending a graduation event at Hope House Guthrie in Oklahoma to witness firsthand how computer ownership is transforming lives.
Celebrating Success at Hope House Guthrie
On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, we celebrated a graduation event at Hope House Guthrie that included recognizing the accomplishments of participants in the Connected Learning Digital Skills award program. As part of the event, Digitunity worked alongside AT&T and Human-I-T to support the distribution of 55 devices through the AT&T Computer Program. Recipients participated in digital skills courses with materials created by AT&T and the Public Library Association. A special thank you to Administrator Frankie Garcia-Leon for his dedicated work in making this program a success. Additionally, Digitunity contributed 55 Chromebooks to support the youth at Hope House Guthrie as they continue their learning journey through workshops, including Digital Citizenship for Tweens & Teens.
Honoring the Visionaries
Ambitious initiatives of this scale require visionary leadership to flourish. We’d like to say a huge thank you to the visionary founders of Hope House Guthrie: Mary Myers, Sue DuCharme, and OJ Myers. Their tireless dedication to cultivating an environment for personal and educational growth serves as the cornerstone of this impactful organization.Established only six years ago to support individuals navigating homelessness and addiction, Hope House has blossomed into a supportive community where participants reclaim their lives and forge sustainable futures. This is far more than a recovery facility; it is a human-centric sanctuary where healing is seamlessly integrated with vocational training and academic advancement. Witnessing the vibrant energy of the recent celebration and engaging with the dedicated team was a true honor. Observing the tangible results of these initiatives firsthand highlights the critical importance of our collaborative mission.
The Power of Collaboration
Our work with Hope House Guthrie is a key part of our broader efforts to make computer ownership possible for everyone. By providing the tools and training necessary for digital literacy, we aren’t just handing over hardware; we are providing a gateway to the modern world.
- Community Connection: Creating spaces where individuals can build skills together.
- Confidence: Giving every participant the skills to navigate digital platforms.
