Katie, 21 years old

Wish submitted by:

Katie experienced foster care, and her journey is nothing short of inspiring. This persistent young woman has defied the odds to get her life on track. Just a few years ago, the thought of living in her own apartment or holding a full-time position as a paraprofessional would have seemed unimaginable to her. Now, she has set her sights on returning to school with the long-term goal of working in the childcare space, where she can make a meaningful impact on children’s lives. In her spare time, Katie indulges her passion for movies and takes pride in being a loving cat mother, adding joy to her daily routine.

Katie's 2025 has started off on a challenging note. After facing issues with her housing voucher, she returned home from work last week to find her apartment burglarized. Among the stolen items was the TV she had just purchased over the summer, which she relied on to enjoy her favorite movies. With the ongoing housing voucher problems and her limited income, Katie cannot afford to replace the TV at this time. Funding this wish would significantly help her recover from this setback and replace what was taken from her.
