Maria, 22 years old

Wish submitted by:

Maria spent 11 years in care. Their experiences in foster care have made them more determined to succeed and change society's view of foster children. They are extremely proud of graduating high school and hope to graduate college with a degree in Psychology. To Maria, education is a top priority and they are so excited to begin pursuing their education.

Maria wishes to have a washing machine that is small enough to fit in her space. This addition would help her save both time and gas, allowing her to multitask efficiently. With a washing machine, she could wash her blankets and clothes for work and school simultaneously, which would free up more time for her studies. Having this essential appliance would alleviate some of her worries, as she currently lacks a washer. This wish is particularly important for her, as being able to wear clean, neat clothes boosts her happiness and confidence.
