Cara, 31 years old, SC

Wish submitted by:

Cara is a resilient young woman who aged out of foster care at 18. Despite experiencing homelessness, she has fought for custody of her brother and is currently working as a waitress while studying to become a registered nurse. After the tragic loss of her sister in a car accident last year, Cara dreams of starting a program in South Carolina to support foster youth. An artist and aspiring author, she is writing a book about her journey to achieve her goals and give back to others.

Cara has faced a lot of difficult challenges, including family issues and time in foster care. She recently got her own apartment, which is a big step towards healing and independence. A rustic storage chest would help her keep things organized and create a calm, functional space. It would also represent her journey to build a safe and comfortable life. This piece would add beauty and purpose to her new home.
