Elena, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Elena spent five years in foster care, and she has recently secured a job as a caretaker for the elderly and individuals with disabilities. She possesses a strong work ethic and consistently keeps one or even two jobs. Currently, Elena lives with her grandmother and younger sister. She is about to purchase her first car, having obtained her driver's license earlier this year. Her interests include skating, shopping, and shoes.

Elena is expecting her first baby later this summer. She is starting a caregiving job but needs support to obtain the essentials for her baby. A stroller and car seat would make her life easier and alleviate some of the financial burden she is facing. Although Elena is very independent and finds it challenging to ask for help, she knows that receiving these items would be a blessing for her growing family.
