Jesi, 19 years old, CA | 37 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jesi grew up in foster care, moving between homes and learning independence much earlier than most children. She achieved a significant milestone by completing her first job as a peer mentor, an experience that boosted her confidence and sense of purpose. Now a full-time student at Cal State San Francisco, Jesi lives on campus and is fully engaged in college life, balancing a full course load while building meaningful connections. Despite the challenges she has faced, Jesi remains highly motivated to succeed. She approaches each day with a positive mindset, resilience, and a strong determination to create a better future for herself.

Being a full-time college student, Jesi relies on technology daily for coursework, assignments, and communication with professors. Her iPad recently stopped working, creating a barrier to completing schoolwork efficiently. Replacing her iPad will allow Jesi to stay organized, access class materials, take notes, and keep up with her academic responsibilities. This support will directly contribute to her continued success in college and help her remain focused on achieving her long-term goals.
