Sammy, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Sammy is a foster youth who despite facing significant adversity throughout her life, has demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination to build a brighter future for herself and her daughter. As a foster youth and young mother, she has overcome tremendous trauma and hardship, choosing not to let her past define her future. She is committed to breaking generational cycles and creating a stable, successful life for her family. Her greatest motivation is her daughter, who inspires her every day to pursue her education, make positive choices, and become the role model she never had growing up.

Currently enrolled in a virtual GED program due to severe medical challenges that keep her from attending classes in person, Samya is determined to complete her high school equivalency diploma. However, not having a reliable laptop has created a major hurdle in accessing her coursework, completing online assignments, and staying on track. This laptop will give Samya the essential tool she needs to finish her education, gain valuable career skills, and create a strong, hopeful future for her daughter.
