Aliyah, 16 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Aliyah entered foster care last year and faced significant challenges before finding stability and support. It took time for her to trust anyone who showed her genuine care, but with patience and a resource parent who never gave up on her, she has begun to thrive. She now feels like a true part of her resource family and enjoys spending time with the little boys in the home, who look up to her like a big sister. Aliyah is an A student with big dreams and a renewed belief in her future. She hopes to become a child psychologist so she can help other children heal.

An iPad would give Aliyah reliable access to her schoolwork, research, and online learning tools. It would help her stay organized, complete assignments efficiently, and continue building the strong study habits that have made her an A student. The iPad would also support her future goals, including preparing for college and pursuing her dream of becoming a child psychologist.
