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.

Kiley needs a new computer desk because her old one broke in her dorm room. She really needs this desk to hold her important college books and to have a good spot to finish her assignments. The old desk fell apart and now she’s worried about where she’ll study and work on her school projects. Getting a functional desk will really help her stay focused and organized as she starts this new chapter in college. It will make it easier for her to manage her studying and get ready for exams.
