Lilian is a thoughtful and determined college student who has overcome many obstacles after experiencing foster care both as a toddler and again as a teenager. She’s currently working hard to earn her degree and pursue a career supporting children with and without special needs. While juggling school and day-to-day responsibilities, Lilian is also managing financial hardships that have made it difficult to afford even basic essentials. Her wish is for a Target gift card to purchase toiletries and undergarments, items that are often overlooked but essential to her daily well-being and confidence. Granting this wish would ease a financial burden and allow her to focus more fully on her education and goals. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a great shopping trip! This is wish 2 of 2.
