Kassidy, 20 years old

Wish submitted by:

Kassidy is studying Digital Design. She moved out of her foster care family's home and now lives in her own apartment through the Transitional Housing Program (THP). It’s been a big adjustment, but she’s managing. Her foster family is still supportive and checks in, which helps. Even with the pressure, Kassidy stays focused on her goals. She’s always been motivated and knows what she wants to achieve. Being around her friends gives her energy and helps her stay grounded, especially during stressful times.

***Thanks to a few amazingly generous supporters who are underwriting the cost of select wishes, this wish is just $25 – today and tomorrow only!*** Kassidy is really focused on finishing her first year at Cerritos strong, especially with finals coming up. She’s been having a tough time getting to class on time because public transport can be unreliable. With important exams and projects ahead, missing even one day could set her back. Since moving into her own apartment through THP, she's settling in but still finds transportation challenging. Kassidy wishes she could find a way to get to campus without the stress of late buses or long waits. A Lyft or Uber gift card would really help her out right now. Just knowing she has a reliable way to get to class would let her focus on what matters most: finishing the semester strong and being proud of all she’s accomplished. This wish was split up to help Kassidy get to class. This is wish 2 of 2.
