Wish submitted by:

Katie is kind teenage girl who uses her humor to be able to relate to her peers at her group home. Katie has had many placements and is determined to be able to make her new placement a source of stability as she reaches adulthood. She has reengaged in school and has found a new interest in dance and art. She is commonly described as respectful to staff and willing to make a change in her life.

Katie is diligently working to complete her education and build a successful future. She is requesting a laptop to assist her with her studies and academic responsibilities. As she works on assignments and meets academic deadlines, having reliable access to technology has become increasingly important. A laptop would enable her to access essential online resources, complete her assignments more efficiently, and stay organized with her schoolwork. Given the challenges she has faced, including a lack of resources and housing instability, maintaining consistent access to a computer has been difficult, which impacts her ability to keep up with her studies.
