Eduardo, 16 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Eduardo was placed in foster care due to neglect, which led to him experiencing trauma. He expresses a strong desire to focus on his education and eventually attend college. Eduardo is eager to learn new things and enjoys drawing, reading, and spending time outdoors. He has developed a positive relationship with his foster parents and likes to help out around the house.

Prior to entering foster care, Eduardo faced significant challenges with school attendance due to family circumstances. Since placement, he has demonstrated remarkable improvement, maintaining consistent attendance and earning good grades throughout the entire semester. This achievement reflects his resilience and commitment to education despite previous barriers. Providing Eduardo with a tablet will serve as both a reward for his hard work and a tool to support his continued academic success. The device will allow him to access educational resources, complete assignments, and enjoy recreational activities such as games, which he has expressed interest in. This incentive aligns with our goal of encouraging positive behavior and academic engagement among youth in care.
