Jerikka, 25 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jerikka is currently attending UCLA to obtain her master's in education and her elementary multiple-subject teaching credentials. She is a teacher and loves working with her students. Her kindness and empathy for others is one of her unique qualities.

Jerikka, a resilient former foster youth, has been accepted to Santa Clara University where she will begin her journey toward becoming a lawyer. Her dream is rooted in purpose—to fight against social injustice and uplift those whose voices often go unheard. With lived experience navigating the foster care system, Jerikka is committed to using her education to advocate for others and transform the system from within. A tuition payment would provide Jerikka with the opportunity to start this powerful journey with stability and confidence. By granting this wish, you are not just investing in her education—you’re helping shape a future leader who will fight for equity, justice, and meaningful change. Let’s come together to support Jerikka as she turns her passion into impact.
