Noah, 15 years old, NC

Wish submitted by:

Noah has experienced several placements in the foster care system. Currently, he lives with his brother and is staying with a family friend from church. Noah is doing very well in this placement and enjoys participating in karate and attending church. He is excited about engaging in typical teenage activities. Academically, Noah is performing well in school. He is enrolled in an alternative school and is working hard to transition back to a regular school setting. Noah has also expressed a desire to play football once he returns to the traditional school system.

Noah requires a laptop to complete his schoolwork and classwork at home, especially when he cannot finish all his assignments during the school day. Unfortunately, his current alternative school does not permit students to take laptops home, which limits his ability to work independently outside of school hours. To support Noah's educational needs, the agency aims to assist his family in obtaining a laptop that he can use for his studies at home.
