Isaiha, 14 years old, OR | 8 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 05/29

Wish submitted by:

Isaiha has navigated a multitude of challenges. His mother relinquished custody at birth, and his father assumed full responsibility for his care. He provided care until he was 13 years old, at which point it was discovered that his father also struggled with alcoholism and became physically abusive to his son. Despite all of this he has excelled academically, currently passing all his classes. He participates in basketball three times a week, and track every day. He is an avid gamer, articulate, and exhibits both introvert and extrovert tendencies. He is obedient and adheres to the household rules, by demonstrating responsibilities by loading the dishwasher, maintaining cleanliness in his bathroom, bedroom and washing his clothes.

Isaiha is asking for a new laptop for his upcoming birthday to help him keep up with his schoolwork. He is focused on improving and maintaining his grades, and having a reliable laptop would help him finish assignments, access school materials, and stay organized. Isaiha doesn’t usually ask for much, and this request is directly tied to his goals for school and his future. He is also interested in creating video games and is thinking about a career in computers after graduation. He hopes to study areas like software system design and digital graphics in college. He has taken time to research different laptops and chose one with good reviews, showing that he is being careful and responsible in his decision. A laptop would be a meaningful gift that supports Isaiha’s education now and his long-term goals for the future.
