Jennis FlowerElena was emancipated from the foster care system at age 18 and immediately went to college to pursue her bachelor's degree. Shortly before the pandemic, she faced some life challenges that forced her to put a hold on her college career and begin working full-time. Elena is passionate about working with kids, and her dream is to become a pediatrician.
Elena wishes for a beautiful dress to wear at her graduation as she receives her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. After seven years of hard work, she has faced significant challenges, including homelessness, domestic violence, and ongoing instability. Despite these obstacles, Elena has never given up on her dreams and has continued to take classes while working full-time. Now, she is finally ready to cross the graduation stage, and her heartfelt wish is for an elegant dress for the ceremony. Unfortunately, Elena does not have enough money to afford the dress she truly wants. She has had the chance to try on a specific dress at Nordstrom and fell in love with how it made her feel. Granting this wish would mean the world to Elena.

"Fantastic job. Did you know less than 5% of those in foster care graduate with a Bachelor's Degree. I can tell you are amazing! Keep up the good work as you begin your career or Master's. "
