Gabriella, 15 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Gabriella is a sweet girl who has been experiencing homelessness with her family for the past year. Her peers at school know her unfortunate circumstances, and unfortunately, some of the children tease her for a situation that she has no control over. Gabriella remains positive through all the housing instability and perseveres through all her adversity. Gabriella finds joy in being an aunt to her young niece, spending time with her mother, and reading books. Due to Gabriella’s lack of friends, she has found joy and comfort in doing things on her own. Gabriella prays daily, including her loved ones and even her caseworker.

Gabriella says that she's always wanted a Macbook, but unfortunately, her family hasn't been able to afford it. She also mentioned that having this computer would be really helpful for her to work on her homework. Gabriella recently returned to school after going through some tough times with her family, but she's incredibly smart and determined to catch up with her studies. This wish will help her achieve her academic goals, and having this computer would be a huge step in the right direction.
