Mia, 27 years old, NC

Wish submitted by:

Mia is a gentle and kind young woman who loves making others feel welcome. She possesses a strong, quiet spirit that has helped her navigate every challenge since aging out of foster care. Mia enjoys making jewelry and spending time with friends. She lost her mother when she was 6 years old which is how she ended up in the foster care system. She is now a mother herself, and she is filled with excitement about giving her daughter the life she wasn’t able to have while growing up.

Mia graduated with her associates from Wake Tech and has enrolled in NC Central for the fall to get her bachelors degree. She needs a new chromebook for school as the one she used at Wake Tech was borrowed from the school and she had to return it at graduation. She is the first person in her family to graduate high school and now she's graduated from community college and is going on to pursue a 4 year degree. She is a single mom and is working, going to school and raising her 3 year old daughter. This computer will help her to reach her goal of graduating!
