Terry, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Terry is a former foster youth who has recently reconnected with her mother and is committed to building a stable and positive future. She has made significant progress in distancing herself from negative influences and is focused on personal growth, responsibility, and achieving her educational goals. Motivated by a desire to be a strong source of support for her mother, who is a survivor of domestic violence, she is working to improve her circumstances and create long-term stability for their family.

Terry is requesting a laptop so she can return to school and complete her high school diploma. Earning her diploma is an important step toward achieving her personal and professional goals, but access to a reliable computer is essential for success in today's educational environment. With a laptop, Terry will be able to attend online classes, complete assignments, conduct research, communicate with teachers, and access the educational resources she needs to stay on track. Having her own device will also provide the flexibility to study at her own pace and balance her educational responsibilities with other commitments. This laptop is a tool that will help Terry invest in her future.
