Izzy, 18 years old, NM | 16 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Izzy is an amazing young person who has faced a lot of challenges and aged out of foster care after being in the system for about ten years. Despite everything she has been through, she is determined to build a better future and not be defined by her past. Izzy has set clear goals for herself, including earning her GED and finding steady employment. She is also working hard to adjust to independent living and the many new responsibilities that come with adulthood. Even though this transition has not been easy, Izzy continues to show strength, motivation, and resilience as she takes steps toward becoming a successful and self-sufficient young adult.

Izzy was involved in a car accident, and during that incident, her personal phone was stolen. She has saved up money to purchase a new phone; however, she is currently using a text and call app over Wi-Fi whenever it is available. Although she is humble and a bit shy about asking for help, she understands the importance of having a working phone. Izzy has been applying for jobs and needs a reliable phone number when Wi-Fi is not accessible. Plus, she uses public transportation, and for her safety, she would like to be able to use her phone while on the bus.
