Faith, 24 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Faith entered the foster care system at a young age due to family instability, navigating through multiple placements that tested her resilience and determination. Throughout these challenges, she developed a strong sense of responsibility, particularly towards her younger siblings, who also faced unsafe living conditions. This sense of duty has only fueled her drive to build a brighter future. Passionate about cooking, Faith is focused on pursuing a career in culinary arts, aspiring to work in a prestigious five-star restaurant alongside top chefs. Her dedication to her craft and commitment to overcoming adversity truly showcase her potential for success and growth in her chosen path.

Faith is in need of a new laptop to support her education. She is actively enrolled in school, and many of her assignments, coursework, and class communications are completed online. Her previous computer is no longer functioning and will not turn on, making it difficult for her to keep up academically. A reliable laptop is especially important because Faith is enrolled in a graphic design class that requires the use of specialized software and programs that are not supported on Chromebooks. Her coursework requires consistent access to online learning platforms, design software, research materials, essay writing programs, and digital assignments. Without access to a functioning laptop that can support these academic requirements, Faith is at risk of falling behind in her classes and being unable to complete required projects and assignments. Receiving assistance with a laptop would allow Faith to continue pursuing her education successfully, fully participate in her graphic design coursework, and remain on track toward achieving her long-term educational and career goals.
