NaRiah, 17 years old, MO | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

NaRiah is a mature, determined, and goal-oriented young woman who has worked hard to develop the skills she needs to build a successful future. Through her transitional living experience, she has learned valuable life and home-management skills, including taking responsibility for herself, managing daily tasks, and preparing to live independently. She is focused on her future and understands that the choices she makes today can help shape the life she wants tomorrow. When NaRiah sets her mind to something, she is willing to put in the effort and stay committed until she reaches her goal. She is also learning to advocate for herself, manage responsibilities, make thoughtful decisions, and navigate the challenges of becoming an independent adult. As she prepares to age out of foster care and begin the next chapter of her life, NaRiah is determined to create stability for herself and build a future she can be proud of.

NaRiah is getting an iPad that will help her finish school and prepare to live on her own, and she wants it to last. She carries it from class to her living program and everywhere in between, so it takes a lot of bumps. A sturdy case in a style that fits her personality would keep it safe from drops and scratches and make the iPad feel like hers. Taking care of something she depends on is also good practice for living independently, and it would give her peace of mind knowing her device is protected.
