Kidada, 18 years old | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kidada is a dedicated psychology major at Cal State, passionate about understanding and helping others navigate their trauma. Having spent several years in foster care due to her mother's struggles with addiction and the domestic disputes between her parents, she has developed a strong desire to support individuals facing similar challenges. In her free time, Kidada enjoys crocheting, sewing, and watching anime, all of which she finds both relaxing and creatively fulfilling. She currently lives with her mother, who has been sober for some time, and Kidada is focused on rebuilding their relationship and family life. Despite facing ongoing financial difficulties, including a recent eviction notice that CII is currently assisting them with, Kidada remains resilient and optimistic. She believes in the power of psychology to transform lives and is committed to using her experiences to guide others toward healing and hope.

Kidada is a full-time psychology student who could really use a shopping spree at JCPenney. She and her mom are going through some tough financial times, falling behind on rent and bills, which means they can’t afford new clothes or shoes right now. Getting the chance to shop for herself on her birthday would make Kidada really happy and help lift her spirits. New clothes would not only refresh her wardrobe but also boost her confidence and help her feel good about herself. This shopping trip would be a fun break and a great way for Kidada to express her unique style. It would really help her well-being as she keeps focusing on her studies and future in psychology. Kidada's shopping wish was split up. This is part 1 of 2.
