Faith, 23 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Faith entered the foster care system at a young age due to family instability and navigated multiple placements. Despite these challenges, she has shown remarkable resilience and determination. She also feels a strong sense of concern for her younger siblings, who later entered foster care due to unsafe living conditions. This experience has further shaped her strength and sense of responsibility. Focused on building a brighter future, Faith is pursuing a career in culinary arts, fueled by her passion for cooking. She has clear goals and motivation, aspiring to work in a prestigious five-star restaurant alongside top chefs. Faith's dedication to her craft and her commitment to overcoming adversity highlight her potential for success and growth in her chosen career.

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.
