Aaliyah, 15 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 10/24

Wish submitted by:

Aaliyah lives with her grandparents and two siblings. She has a wonderful sense of humor and often makes people laugh at home and during visits from her case manager and counselor. Aaliyah helps her grandparents with chores around the house and takes care of her younger sister, showing herself to be a loving and protective older sister. She enjoys a good relationship with her older brother and often jokes around with him. Currently, Aaliyah is in her first year of high school and has been performing well academically. Although she tends to be quiet at school and keeps to herself, she gets along with all her teachers and is regarded as a good student.

Aaliyah urgently needs a laptop to support her schoolwork, as several of her classes include online components. Currently, she is falling behind due to her limited access to a reliable computer. A laptop would not only help her catch up on assignments but would also enable her to explore additional resources and tools to enhance her overall learning experience. Having a laptop would also allow Aaliyah to collaborate more effectively with her classmates on group projects and participate actively in virtual discussions, which are essential for her academic success.
