Melissa, 16 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Melissa is currently a foster youth and a survivor of trafficking and is actively working toward rebuilding her life through education. She is motivated, communicative, and eager to learn. She has ambitions to become a cosmetologist and has a bright future ahead of her!

Returning to school is an important step for Melissa. Education gives her stability, confidence, and a sense of direction for her future. Melissa is requesting a laptop to support her return to school. Having reliable access to a laptop would make a meaningful difference in her education. It would allow her to complete assignments, participate in online classes, communicate with teachers, and stay organized as she works toward her academic goals. Currently, limited access to technology makes it difficult for her to fully engage in coursework and keep up with school expectations. A laptop would provide her with the tools she needs to succeed and stay motivated in her studies.
