Casen, 14 years old, NC | 14 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Casen is a hardworking and determined young man who entered care after experiencing unsafe living conditions. Despite the challenges and trauma of this transition, he has demonstrated remarkable resilience and a strong commitment to building a brighter future. Casen enjoys spending time outdoors and takes pride in learning new skills around his foster parents’ home. He is especially motivated to reach his independent living goals. With the right support, Casen is well on his way to becoming a confident and self-sufficient young adult.

Due to the instability in his family situation, Casen has fallen behind academically. Despite these challenges, he is highly motivated to catch up and is eager to fully engage in school so he can work toward his goal of getting a job as soon as he is able. Access to a laptop would provide Casen with the essential tools he needs to complete assignments, build his skills, and regain confidence in the classroom. Without one, his ability to make meaningful academic progress is significantly limited. Granting this wish would not only support his education, it would empower him to move closer to independence and a brighter future.
