Cynthia, 24 years old

Wish submitted by:

Cynthia is an incredible young woman currently participating in a transitional housing program for foster youth, along with her four siblings. Despite moving around three times during her time in foster care, she maintained high grades throughout high school. Cynthia has also been actively involved in community outreach programs, including beautification projects, blood drives, and assembling care packages for the homeless and the elderly. Cynthia aims to become a business administrator. While studying, she works part-time and is focused on budgeting wisely to save money to support herself and her younger siblings. Although she has not had a stable home until joining the housing program, she consistently remains positive, expressing gratitude for the homes she has lived in, the families who have shown her kindness and love, and the opportunity to study and work in the United States.

Cynthia is an overachiever when it comes to education and takes great pride in being family-oriented. She values cleanliness and enjoys having a tidy and safe living space where she can sleep, do homework, and relax in a comfortable environment. Unfortunately, her vacuum recently broke, and she hasn’t been able to get it repaired. As a result, she has been using a broom to maintain her cleanliness, but this method is time-consuming and doesn’t always effectively collect all the dust. A new vacuum would greatly benefit Cynthia by simplifying her cleaning routine and helping her keep her carpets and floors dust-free.
