Maria, 23 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Maria spent 11 years in foster care. Her experiences with instability, trauma, and drama during those early years fueled her determination to succeed and to change the world's perception of foster children. She is extremely proud of graduating from high school and becoming a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Maria is fully committed to advancing her career.

Maria is in need of a fan because she struggles to sleep at night in her hot home. She longs for nothing but cold, fresh air so that she can sleep well and focus on her homework without the discomfort of the heat. This fan will help her stay cool and comfortable during the summer, allowing her to focus and thrive in her home.
