Wish submitted by:

As a former foster youth, Theresa has demonstrated tremendous determination, resilience, and independence. Despite the obstacles she has faced, she has remained stable, focused, and committed to building a successful future. She dreams of pursuing a career in business and ultimately opening and operating her own hair salon. She is hardworking, motivated, and determined to become self-sufficient and create a successful future for herself. Theresa has already demonstrated that when given an opportunity, she is willing to work hard and make the most of it.

Theresa is on track to graduate from high school and will soon be transitioning to college, where access to a reliable laptop will be an essential tool for completing coursework, conducting research, communicating with instructors, and managing her academic responsibilities. A laptop would provide her with much more than a piece of technology—it would give her access to opportunities. It would support her college education, help her develop business skills, allow her to research and plan her future hair salon, and give her the tools needed to pursue her long-term goals. Supporting her with a laptop would be an investment in a young woman who is determined to turn her experiences into motivation and build a bright, independent future.
