Wish submitted by:

Iris’s journey through foster care has been marked by resilience, determination, and perseverance. Despite facing numerous challenges and uncertainties along the way, she remained focused on building a better future for herself. Her hard work and dedication have paid off, culminating in the successful completion of an HVAC program—a significant achievement that demonstrates both her commitment to personal growth and her ability to overcome obstacles. Iris’s accomplishments reflect her strength of character, her determination to persevere through adversity, and her drive to create new opportunities for herself as she continues to move forward in life.

A laptop would be extremely helpful for Iris as she continues her education and searches for work. Having her own device would allow her to complete school assignments, conduct research, and stay organized with her coursework at any time. It would also make it much easier for her to search and apply for jobs, update her résumé, and communicate with potential employers. With reliable access to online resources, training programs, and job listings, a laptop would support Iris in staying focused, productive, and confident as she works toward her academic and career goals.
