Haley B., 25 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Haley is a bright and resilient young woman who aged out of foster care after spending more than 15 years in the system. She is incredibly self-aware and highly motivated, choosing to move into supportive housing to continue receiving assistance while transitioning to independent living. Currently, Haley is studying for her GED and works as a security guard. She has an infectious spirit and deeply cares about others. With the right support, Haley will continue to thrive and achieve her goals.

Haley faced challenges in high school and did not graduate. While in care, she focused on becoming financially independent and began working. Although she still finds it difficult to achieve full financial independence, she is currently stably housed and enrolled in a GED program. Recently, Haley's laptop broke, and she would like an iPad since it is smaller, lighter, and easier to carry between work and her classes. Haley's commitment to improving her future is truly inspiring, and this support would significantly help her achieve her educational goals.
