Mercedes, 29 years old

Wish submitted by:

Mercedes is a former foster youth who is now a full-time student pursuing a degree in child development. Three years ago, she courageously left a domestic violence situation and has since been working hard to support herself. Despite lacking family support, Mercedes demonstrates resilience and entrepreneurial spirit, aspiring to start a car bedazzling business. Her journey showcases her determination to overcome challenges and create a better future for herself while balancing her studies, work, and family responsibilities.

Mercedes wishes for an iPad to boost her child development studies. It would be an amazing all-in-one tool for learning on the go, taking digital notes, and accessing her course materials. As a former foster youth juggling full-time studies, gig work, and caring for her niece, the iPad would be a game-changer, helping her to manage her time more effectively. Unfortunately, recent financial challenges - like a rent increase - have made it impossible for her to afford this essential educational tool. The iPad wouldn't just support her academic journey; it would also help her plan her future car bedazzling business. This opportunity could help Mercedes overcome her current financial struggles and invest in her education and entrepreneurial dreams. Let's help make this happen for her!
