Keep Kids Connected, a Katy non-profit organization that gives computers to kids with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses, recently gave away its 300^th computer 2012 to 6-year old Nicholas Hernandez of Katy, TX.

Nicholas is being treated for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) at MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital in Houston. Nicholas received the computer from Caitlyn Mortus, a junior at Seven Lakes High School, who is herself, a cancer survivor.

Mortus started the organization after she was declared cancer free in August 2010 from her desire to help kids who were still in the hospital battling a serious illness.
