A New Laptop for Briana who will be initiating training in the Air Force

Posted Nov 2, 2018
Briana has limited resources. She needs a laptop so that she can stay in contact with her friends, siblings, and other supports while she is stationed at boot camp in Texas. If she were granted this wish, she would feel much more comfortable with starting this new chapter in her life because she will be able to stay in contact with her supports.

Briana is 24 years old and lives in NJ

Briana is a loving, kind, bright, resilient young lady. She is one of 7 siblings who was placed in foster care as a young child due to severe neglect. She was lucky to have been placed with a younger brother, while the others were split up. Briana spent several years bouncing around until she and her brother were adopted, however that ended poorly when she was 18. Since that time, she has been on her own. She has re-connected with her siblings and makes it a point to check on them daily, despite what is going on in her life. She has spent the last 6 years struggling with housing instability, lack of income, food insecurity as well as anxiety and depression. During this time, she has also enrolled in and completed a semester at college, held numerous jobs, and kept a positive hopeful outlook. She is currently staying with a family, has secured an entry level job in the medical field and is planning on going back to school.
