Mia, 22 years old, NE | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Mia is a young single mother with two children. During her teenage years, she lived in foster care and faced challenges in finding stable housing for several years. Fortunately, she is now living in a stable housing project, and she is determined to achieve her goals.

Mia needs a laptop with Microsoft Office for her education and future plans. She lives in a rural area where getting to classes and support can be really hard because of unreliable transportation. Because of this, she studies at home to work toward her GED. Having a laptop would make a big difference for Mia. She could access online GED prep programs, take practice tests, join virtual classes, and keep track of her assignments using programs like Word and Excel. This would help her overcome her transportation issues and allow her to learn at her own pace while taking care of her two young kids. Getting her GED is an important step for Mia, as she plans to pursue an associate degree in business and dreams of owning her own business someday. A laptop would not only help with her immediate studies but also support her as she develops important skills for her future. For Mia, a laptop is more than just a piece of technology; it symbolizes a chance to change her life after her time in foster care. It stands for independence and hope. With the right tools, she can build a better future for herself and her children, providing them the stability and security she has worked so hard for.
