Lindsey, 25 years old

Wish submitted by:

Lindsey's pursuit of education and her role as a single mother have become her top priorities amid unstable employment. She entered the foster care system at around 15 years old, spending time in various group homes. Growing up, Lindsey was thrust into independence with little guidance from her parents, having only met her father once and lacking any meaningful connection with her mother. To survive, she resorted to stealing clothes, making her own way to school, and providing for her own meals. Lindsey eventually entered care after getting into trouble at school and confiding in a counselor about her struggles.

Lindsey is a mother of two kids, and doesn't have an income as of right due to not being able to get childcare for her children. She is currently job searching, but struggling to make car payments due to lack of employment, school, and childcare.
