Tia, 20 years old, WA | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Tia is currently attending school and working on building her confidence and independence while in her current placement. She is actively preparing for life after foster care by developing important life skills. Tia describes herself as confident, fun-loving, and sometimes a little disorganized. Living with a disability, she embraces her interests and enjoys gardening, gaming, and shopping in her free time. With a positive attitude and strong motivation, Tia is focused on creating a fulfilling future for herself.

Tia needs an iPhone 14 to replace her current phone, which is becoming increasingly unreliable. Her messages often fail to send or arrive hours late, and even a routine update can take more than 12 hours to finish. For someone who relies on her phone to reach the people in her life, those delays can mean missed conversations, late replies, and important news that arrives too late to act on. A dependable phone would let her stay connected to the people who matter, receive important messages on time, and handle everyday responsibilities with far less stress. It would give her a lifeline that works when she needs it.
