Daemon, 14 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Daemon is a young man navigating the foster care system, a reality that influences parts of his life but does not define who he is. He can easily lose himself in a good book, enjoys sketching, and loves a fierce game. When he has the opportunity, he likes to get some fresh air and ride his bike. He is kind-hearted and unapologetically goofy. Daemon is also planning for his future; he talks about becoming an electrician or a welder—careers that are very hands-on. Despite the odds stacked against him, he continues to push forward and believes in a brighter future.

Daemon is asking for a laptop to support his education and help him succeed in school. Having reliable access to a laptop would make it easier for him to complete assignments, conduct research, access online learning materials, and stay organized with his coursework. Without consistent access to a computer, keeping up with school responsibilities can be stressful and challenging. A laptop would help reduce that stress, allowing Daemon to focus more on learning and achieving the grades he needs to continue his education. This tool would provide important support as he works toward his academic goals and future success.
