Lilly, 15 years old, VA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Lilly has experienced significant hardship, including abandonment by her father, abuse, and ongoing neglect. She lives with her brother and grandfather in a home affected by severe hoarding and unsafe, unsanitary living conditions. Despite the instability and trauma she has experienced, Lilly continues to navigate circumstances no young person should have to face. She is connected with Prominent Chapters to receive practical support, encouragement, and opportunities to experience the safety, dignity, and care every child deserves.

Lilly is working hard to keep up with her education while currently completing her homeschool assignments on a cell phone. She dreams of becoming a nurse one day and wants to continue building the strong academic foundation she will need to reach that goal. A laptop would give Lilly a proper way to complete assignments, write papers, research school subjects, attend online lessons, and access educational programs without struggling on a small phone screen. Having her own computer would provide an important educational resource she doesn't currently have and help her focus on school, prepare for her future, and keep working toward her dream of caring for others as a nurse.
