Belinda, 20 years old

Wish submitted by:

Belinda is an extraordinary young woman who has overcome many obstacles in her short life. She is currently living in a foster home with two younger children who she adores. Belinda was born in the US but spent most of her life in another country. She one day hopes to be reunited with her family but for now, she is learning how to make herself a priority by focusing on herself and her future goals. She has excelled at school, getting A's and B's, and participated in school sports, and extracurricular activities all while maintaining above-average grades. And to top all that off, English isn't her first language. Belinda is very kind, well-mannered, and soft-spoken, and enjoys helping around the house.

Belinda was accepted into the college's summer program, where she will live in one of the dorms. She is excited about this opportunity but scared she'll miss her foster family. She would love some help getting food, and McDonald's is within close walking distance to campus.
