Fab, 23 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Fab is an amazing young woman who has faced many challenges in her life. Growing up in foster care, she learned to be strong and determined. Her early years were tough, as she dealt with abuse from a young age. Despite all this, she never let her spirit be broken. At 19, Fab met her father for the first time, even though he was in prison. This meeting sparked her wish to connect with him, showing her ability to forgive and move forward. Now, she is part of an organization that offers her support and understanding. Through this group, she has made friends who feel like family and has made great strides in managing her depression. Fab loves expressing herself, especially through fashion and makeup, which helps her feel confident about her looks. She finds joy in being herself and has learned to appreciate her inner and outer beauty.

Fab is filled with excitement as she begins a new chapter in her life, starting a new job and enrolling in a certification program at a local school. Her part-time job at the warehouse, combined with her six-month training that requires attendance three days a week, keeps her busy and allows her to pursue her dreams. This opportunity empowers Fab to work towards self-sufficiency, managing her bills now that she lives independently. Throughout her life, Fab has faced numerous struggles, from living in group homes to resource homes, and she is finally in a place where she feels she's making progress. However, she faces a significant challenge: transportation. There are no buses or trains available for her to use, and while she’s waiting for a good friend to lend her a car until she can find one of her own, she will need to rely on Uber for two weeks to commute to school and work, especially on days when both are scheduled. This support is crucial for Fab as she steps into her new career. With her job officially starting in two weeks, anxiety is setting in about how she'll manage transportation from school to work and back home. She'll need to rely on Uber until she receives her first paycheck. Granting this wish would provide Fab with the financial support she needs to sustain herself, giving her peace of mind and enabling her to focus on her promising future.
