Bella, 16 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Bella has already shown a level of strength and determination far beyond her years. Entering foster care at the age of 13, she faced significant challenges with courage. Despite the obstacles in her path, Bella has remained focused on her goals, excelling in school and constantly seeking ways to grow and succeed. Her intelligence and motivation are undeniable—whether she's tutoring younger students or planning for college, Bella's future shines bright. She has immersed herself in her church community, and they have wrapped around her, making sure that she knows that she is loved and cared for. She is truly an inspirational kid!

Bella is currently enrolled in a high school nursing program and is working hard toward her dream of becoming a nurse. As part of the program, she needs regular access to digital tools for research, virtual labs, and studying medical materials. Right now, she only has access to a school-issued Chromebook, which she isn’t allowed to take home, making it difficult to complete assignments and stay on top of her coursework. An iPad would give Bella the flexibility and independence she needs to succeed in her program and continue moving toward her dream of helping others through nursing. Granting this wish would allow her to focus more on her studies without having to wait so long to get the tools she needs!
