Wish submitted by:

Samuel is determined to build a brighter future for himself. Having spent time in several group homes throughout his childhood and adolescence, Samuel has faced many challenges and transitions while growing up in the foster care system. He recently entered the Kamalii transitional housing program, where he has already begun making positive strides toward independence and self-sufficiency. Since joining the program, Samuel has been actively working to re-enroll in college and pursue his passion for education. His long-term goal is to become a teacher so that he can inspire and support young people who may be facing challenges similar to those he experienced. Despite the obstacles and instability he has encountered, Samuel remains resilient, motivated, and focused on creating a successful future for himself. His commitment to higher education, personal growth, and giving back to his community demonstrates his determination to overcome adversity and achieve his goals.

A laptop would be a very helpful tool for Samuel as he works toward his goal of becoming a teacher. As he re-enrolls in college, having a reliable computer would allow him to complete assignments, attend online classes, do research, and stay in touch with his professors and advisors. It would also help him create lesson plans, make learning materials, and build the computer skills he will need in today’s classrooms. Samuel is working hard to build a stable future, and a laptop would give him the support he needs to stay organized, meet deadlines, and look for job opportunities and school resources. Overall, this gift would support his success in school and bring him closer to his dream of becoming a teacher and helping others.
