Wish submitted by:

Kia is a dedicated mother working hard to build a better life for her children. After leaving a long-term relationship that wasn't healthy for her family, she is preparing to move into her own apartment. Despite the challenges she faces, Kia is determined to create a safe and loving home for her kids. She hopes to regain custody of her stepson so all her children can be together. Kia loves spending time with her kids, watching movies, being outdoors, and cooking for them. She dreams of going back to school online to pursue a career in nursing, where she can help others. Kia is a strong and resilient woman, pushing forward for the sake of her family and working towards a brighter future.

Kia recently found the courage to leave a domestic violence situation and is now taking important steps toward building a safer future for herself and her children. While she feels relief in making that decision, she continues to face ongoing challenges. Even so, she has not given up. Kia is currently looking for work and trying to complete job applications using only her phone, which makes the process difficult. Going to the library is not always an option due to transportation issues and childcare needs, as she often has to bring her children with her. Their father is not providing support, so most of the responsibility falls on Kia. She is also planning to attend technical college after graduation. A laptop would make a big difference for her by helping her apply for jobs, create resumes, complete schoolwork, and take part in online learning. A laptop would give Kia the tools she needs to move forward and continue building a more stable and hopeful future for herself and her children.
