Jamila, 20 years old, NJ | 27 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jamila is currently here in the U.S., navigating life on her own while her entire family lives in another country. As soon as she could, she enrolled in college, determined to pursue her education despite the challenges. Since she's not eligible for financial aid, she’s juggling her studies with work to pay for school. In her spare time, Jamila volunteers, finding joy in helping kids and hoping to build connections within her community. She also enjoys baking and exploring her passion for graphic art design, which allows her to express her creativity and share a piece of herself with others.

Jamila is a dedicated college student juggling her coursework at the local community college with a part-time job. She dreams of owning an Apple iPad, which would provide her with the tools to explore her artistic passions and enhance her studies. With dreams of becoming a graphic designer, she sees the iPad as an essential resource for honing her skills in art and graphic design, as well as for her baking hobby. However, balancing her education and work is challenging, especially since she’s not eligible for financial aid and struggles to make ends meet. As a result, she doesn’t have any extra funds to invest in something like the iPad, despite how much it could benefit her.
