Lisa, 22 years old

Wish submitted by:

Lisa grew up in the foster care system, moving through multiple placements before being adopted at the age of 16. Her journey has shaped her into someone who knows firsthand the power of resilience and the importance of hope. Through the challenges she faced, Lisa learned that no matter what, she can survive and thrive—and that holding on to hope, even in the toughest moments, is key to overcoming adversity. Now, Lisa is focused on using her experiences to inspire others who may be facing their own struggles. Currently a college student, she is still exploring her path and has not yet declared her major. But whatever direction she chooses, Lisa is committed to finding a way to give back and share her story in a way that empowers others to keep going, no matter the obstacles they face.

***Thanks to a few amazingly generous supporters who are underwriting the cost of select wishes, this wish is just $25 – today and tomorrow only!*** Lisa is requesting a wetsuit for her upcoming beach trip at the beginning of summer. She plans to spend plenty of time in the water and wants to stay warm and comfortable during her ocean adventures. With the ocean still a bit chilly early in the season, having the right gear is essential for safety and fun. Lisa is excited about making the most of her beach trip, and a wetsuit would give her the freedom to dive in with confidence and fully embrace the experience.
