Wish submitted by:

Lauren is a vibrant and ambitious young woman with a heart for helping others and a passion for growth. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in business and is now setting her sights on grad school, where she hopes to pursue counseling to support former foster youth just like herself. Lauren also runs a small business that allows her to explore her creative side and express her individuality. Her friends describe her as outgoing and driven, with a warm personality that lights up any room. With her cats, her close friends, and her dreams keeping her grounded, Lauren is on a mission to inspire others to rise above their past and reach for the stars.

Lauren is seeking support to cover the vending fees for two upcoming pop-up events in Orange County, part of the popular "Witches Brew" spooky-themed markets taking place in September and October. These events are a great opportunity for her creative candle business, providing a fun and vibrant environment to connect with new customers and grow her brand. She needs to register soon, and receiving help with these fees would be a significant step in advancing her entrepreneurial dreams. As a former foster youth, Lauren has invested her resilience and passion into her business. This opportunity would allow her to showcase her artistry to the community while continuing to build something meaningful for her future.
