UC Riverside - Guardian Scholars Program

Shylah is an energetic and outgoing college student majoring in Biology. She plans to continue her education at a medical school to become a Pediatrician after obtaining her Bachelor of Science. Shylah is a dedicated pre-med student who spends many hours studying. The transition from living with her guardian to being a fully independent first-generation college student has brought many hardships because, as a previous foster youth, she had a lot on her shoulders when it came to being able to financially support herself and maintain her overall well-being, especially her mental health. Her favorite hobbies include volunteering at healthcare clinics, painting, and hiking.

Shylah is asking for a mattress topper to help with her back pain and restless sleep. Her current mattress isn't comfortable, and a good mattress topper would really make a difference. It would help her sleep better and wake up with less pain. If she could get this, she would be very thankful. Better sleep could improve her life and education, and for her, it would be a real blessing.
