Despite the challenges she has faced, she has remained focused on building a strong and independent future for herself. She is currently enrolled in a dual achievement program at a technical college, where she is working toward completing her education while gaining valuable skills for her future.

Makaila is determined to create opportunities for herself through both education and business. She continues to demonstrate independence, drive, and a commitment to long-term success as she works toward her goals.

Makaila is requesting an iPad to support her education and the growth of her small business. As a student in a dual enrollment program, she would use the device to complete assignments, study, and stay organized with her coursework. In addition to her studies, Makaila is actively working on building her own business. She plans to use the iPad to run platforms such as Canva and Shopify, allowing her to design content, manage her online store, and create a smooth, efficient workflow. Having access to a reliable device would enable her to complete tasks more effectively, eliminating the stress of inconsistent technology. This iPad would not only support her academic success but also help her develop essential entrepreneurial skills. It would provide her with the tools she needs to stay organized, grow her business, and continue building a stable, independent future.
