Rayna, 20 years old, PA

Wish submitted by:

Rayna is a creative, curious, and passionate young adult studying Media and Communications at Arcadia University. They enjoy anime, journaling, manga, music, video games, and tarot and oracle readings. At nine years old, they entered the foster care system and faced many challenges, including turning to shelters when a foster home was no longer safe. Despite the mental, physical, and financial difficulties of adjusting to life after foster care, Rayna has shown remarkable resilience, working through their experiences with the help of therapy and a strong determination to heal. Those who know them see their strength, kindness, and ability to find joy in the things they love, even after all they have been through.

Rayna is a dedicated student who truly cares about their education and strives to make the most of every learning opportunity. They believe that using an iPad for school would greatly enhance their academic experience by reducing paper use for note-taking and providing a more portable, efficient alternative to carrying a heavy laptop and backpack. Rayna has never had access to technology like an iPad before, and they see this as a valuable tool that would help them stay organized and better equipped to succeed in their studies.
