Olive, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Olive is an incredible young adult who has lived in a group home and is working on developing her life skills. She is very dedicated to working and saving money. Over the past several years, Olive has gained valuable experience in the food service industry and has learned a lot from her jobs. She aspires to return to school and is committed to being a lifelong learner. Olive has a passion for fashion, hair, and nails, and she uses her style and aesthetics as a means of self-expression. She enjoys spending time with her siblings, friends, and mentor. One of her favorite activities is going out to eat and trying new foods in the area.

Olive grew up in the foster care system and has just moved out of a group home into her first independent living apartment. She is excited to start building her new home, but she is struggling because she lacks the funds to furnish the space. She selected a combination vanity and desk for her bedroom, which will serve as a place for her to get ready in the morning and also as a reading, writing, and work area in the evenings.
