Kiley, 18 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Kiley is a remarkable young woman who has earned a college scholarship to play flag football. She is warm and kind, always involved in community service, and truly loves the game. Kiley has a big heart, especially when it comes to helping wild animals. Her mother, who uses a wheelchair after a leg amputation, faces health challenges that make it hard for her to spend quality time with Kiley. Despite financial difficulties, Kiley's mom does her best to support Kiley and her younger sibling. Kiley has also faced tough times, including abuse from her father, who is no longer in their lives for safety reasons. She struggles with dyslexia, PTSD, and anxiety, but she actively works on her mental health through therapy and group sessions. Kiley channels her energy into football and other activities, which help her feel less isolated and combat feelings of sadness. Her story is one of resilience and determination, showing how hope and perseverance can shine through even the toughest times.

As Kiley embraces her exciting new chapter, having a laptop would significantly aid in managing her studies, training, and continued personal development. Sometimes it’s hard for Kiley to research certain information needed in the evenings after flag football practice. A laptop would not only support her academic endeavors but also help her stay connected with her community and the wildlife she loves so dearly. Kiley’s story is one of resilience and determination, a testament to how hope and perseverance can shine through even the toughest times. This laptop would not only enhance her educational experience but also empower her to further pursue her dreams despite the obstacles she faces.
