Valeria, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Valeria is a bright young lady majoring in Spanish with a focus on translation. Her journey through foster care was tough at the beginning, and adjusting to a different environment was not easy. However, over time, she learned to adapt and grow from her experiences. She believes that these challenges taught her endurance and helped shape her into the strong, independent person she is today. Valeria has developed qualities she is truly proud of, such as leadership, discipline, consistency, and, most importantly, self-love. In her free time, she loves to stay active and can often be found working out, surfing, training for triathlons, playing volleyball, listening to music, or spending time with friends. What makes Valeria special is her strong sense of self; she knows who she is, what she wants, and what she deserves. She has been taking care of herself since she was 13 and has always been committed to achieving her goals.

Valeria is a second-semester Spanish major. Her MacBook is malfunctioning, making it difficult for her to complete her schoolwork efficiently, as several keys do not work and the trackpad is unreliable. Receiving this iPad would mean a great deal to her and would support both her education and personal growth. She would be very excited to have a reliable device to keep up with her classes.
