Maria Marchaqa with her guide dog Chasqui
By Cara Sulieman
A BLIND student has been left struggling to pay her rent after her specially adapted laptop was stolen during an overnight coach trip to London.
Maria Marchaqa, 28, wasn’t allowed to take the £1,000 computer on board the bus with her as it was too bulky.
When she got to London, the laptop was missing from the hold compartment.
And the student says she has lost her independence and feels cut off after the theft.
