Eve, 25 years old | 24 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Eve entered foster care at 8 due to an unsafe home environment filled with violence and addiction. After years of unstable housing and homelessness, she became resilient and committed to helping others who faced similar struggles. Now, she uses her story to inspire change through policy reform and youth empowerment. Her strengths include perseverance, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Eve also approaches challenges with creativity and empathy, supporting fellow foster youth and managing programs. In her free time, she enjoys nature, journaling, cooking, and spending time with her children. Faith plays a significant role in her life, and she is writing a Christian workbook for young adults who have aged out of foster care. Eve has transformed her difficult past into something powerful. She is a mother, a student, and a youth leader, demonstrating that healing is possible and transformative. What sets her apart is her ability to connect with those who feel unseen or misunderstood.

Eve is requesting an Apple Watch because it would significantly support both her professional and personal life. As someone who regularly speaks at events, leads meetings, and manages a full calendar, having discreet notifications and time management tools on her wrist would help her stay organized and fully present in the moment. This Apple Watch would keep her connected when using a phone isn’t practical, and support her physical and mental wellness, especially during activities like walking and geocaching. This device would empower her to remain balanced, effective, and organized in all aspects of her life, whether she’s leading others or prioritizing her own well-being. She is truly grateful to receive her wish!
