Lilly, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Lilly had a tough childhood, living on her own as a teen, but has used this experience to explore different therapies and methods of trauma healing. Lilly plans to major in Psychology to become a social worker or therapist to help kids who were in her situation.

Lilly is a resilient and hardworking foster youth. She currently lives in her school dorm full-time. Lilly is majoring in psychology not only to understand her trauma better but also to become a social worker/therapist so she can advocate for foster kids just like her. A lot of Lilly's major life goals start with her academic career. She uses what resources she can, but it has been difficult to find a college-level laptop. She has had a few lower-cost laptops, which ultimately couldn't meet the demand of the school. Since so much of school now relies on having a computer, it is essential to have something of high quality and reliability. Laptops are expensive, and Lilly is an independent full-time student, so she's working hard to save for this purchase but wishes for some help to get the remaining amount needed.
