Wish submitted by:

Izzy is an amazing young person who has faced a lot of challenges and aged out of foster care after being in the system for about ten years. Despite everything she has been through, she is determined to build a better future and not be defined by her past. Izzy has set clear goals for herself, including earning her GED and finding steady employment. She is also working hard to adjust to independent living and the many new responsibilities that come with adulthood. Even though this transition has not been easy, Izzy continues to show strength, motivation, and resilience as she takes steps toward becoming a successful and self-sufficient young adult.

Izzy has recently aged out of foster care and is now preparing to take the next steps in her life. She plans to attend online school while also applying for jobs. However, she currently does not have a laptop, which is essential for both her education and job applications. Despite this challenge, Izzy is eager to enroll in school and start her journey toward employment, ready to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.
