Wish submitted by:

Allison is a young woman who has shown incredible strength and hope despite facing many challenges in her life. Since she was nine, she has been in and out of foster care, dealing with the struggles of having a mother with addiction and a father in prison. She lives with her loving grandmother, who tries her best but can't fully meet Allison’s needs. Allison achieved her state licensure as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with the support of the local CASA chapter. With her dreams within reach, Allison is filled with gratitude for those who have supported her. Her story highlights the importance of determination and community support.

Allison recently passed her CNA licensing exam and is excited to take the next step toward her future. She plans to enroll in online college courses and is motivated to continue her education. A reliable laptop would help her apply to school, complete assignments, attend classes, and stay on track with her goals. This opportunity would give Allison the tools she needs to keep moving forward and build the future she is working so hard to achieve.
