Michael, 23 years old, TX

Wish submitted by:

Michael entered the foster care system at birth and recently aged out, carrying with him a strong sense of purpose and compassion. He is committed to his goals and has a deep love for cooking, a hobby that brings him joy and creativity. In his free time, he enjoys coloring, playing video games, and spending time with others through board games. Michael’s long-term dream is to become a social worker so he can give back to the community—especially to youth who are currently in the foster care system. His desire to help others stems from his own lived experiences, and he hopes to be a source of support and understanding for those in need.

Michael is currently enrolling in school and needs a laptop to support his academic success. Having reliable access to a computer will allow him to complete coursework, attend online classes, conduct research, and stay organized with his assignments. As someone committed to achieving his goals and pursuing a career as a social worker, a laptop is an essential tool that will help him stay on track academically and develop the skills necessary for his future career. Access to this resource will greatly increase his ability to succeed in school and continue moving toward a brighter future.
