Elijah, 22 years old, CA | 16 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 09/18

Wish submitted by:

Elijah is a hard-working young man currently in college pursuing a career in psychology and licensure as an EMT. Through everything, Elijah's faith helps him cope. Elijah recalls the feeling of being alone and being told he wasn't good enough in foster care. Moving around a lot was anxiety-inducing for him. Peer support, motivation, and resources got him to where he is today, and he has big dreams that keep him going.

Elijah is pursuing a career focused on helping others and is deeply dedicated to achieving this goal. He is committed to his education and is working hard to build a future where he can make a positive difference in the lives of others. However, his current laptop runs very slowly, making it difficult for him to keep up with his statistics course and complete his academic work efficiently. With his finances being tight, Elijah is unable to afford a new laptop on his own. Having a reliable laptop would provide Elijah with the tools he needs to succeed academically, stay on top of his coursework, and continue moving forward toward his educational and career goals.
