Kate lives in her own studio apartment as part of a transitional living program. Although she has only been living independently for a short time, she has received valuable support from her case managers. Recently, Kate has been experiencing some issues with her car, and she is taking the initiative to learn how to fix some of the problems herself. Aside from these challenges, she enjoys spending time with friends and remains dedicated to her work, finding joy in her newfound independence.

Kate had been on the job hunt for what felt like ages, scouring listings, polishing her resume, and preparing for endless interviews. The hard work finally paid off when she received an exciting job offer from a company she admired. She could hardly contain her joy as she imagined her new role, the people she'd meet, and the opportunities ahead. However, reality hit her when she realized that she would need a gas card to cover her commute until her first paycheck arrived. With enthusiasm radiating from her, she started to brainstorm ways to secure that vital resource. She pictured herself driving to work, fueled by excitement and anticipation for the journey ahead, and she knew she had to find a solution to make it all happen. The thought of finally starting her career adventure filled her with hope and determination! This is wish 2 of 2.
