Neftaly, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Neftaly, known as Nef, entered the foster system at eight and faced many challenges that helped her build resilience. After reuniting with her family at eighteen, she began healing the strained bonds from their decade-long separation. In her free time, Nef enjoys sketching, baking, playing chess, and hiking with family. Committed to giving back to the community, she aims to inspire others facing similar struggles by using her journey to uplift youth experiencing homelessness or living in foster care.

Neftaly needs to take precautions to ensure her legs are protected while she participates in her MMA fitness class. This is important because the training and practice involved in mixed martial arts can be intense, and various movements and techniques may potentially cause injury to her legs. She would like a pair of shin guards that will allow her to fully engage in her class without worrying about the potential for harm to her legs.
