Jasmine, 20 years old, CA | 35 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Foster Nation

Jasmine faced many obstacles during her 4 years in foster care, including the passing of her adoptive parents. Although she often felt lost or hopeless, she learned to look for light at the end of every tunnel, and honor the memory of her parents by living her own life with strength and purpose. Jasmine found comfort in outlets such as painting and hiking in nature. She wishes more people understood that foster youth have diverse needs and that no single solution fits all. Jasmine sees herself becoming a correctional officer, advocating for prison reform, and achieving financial stability for herself and her family.

Jasmine is dedicated to transforming her new house into a warm and inviting home. Having experienced challenges and a sense of displacement during her time in foster care, she is particularly motivated to create a comfortable and safe environment where she can truly feel at home. However, Jasmine is currently on a tight budget, making it difficult for her to purchase some essential items that would help enhance her living space. One key item on her wish list is a box spring, which she needs to complete her bed setup. Having this item would not only improve her sleeping arrangement but also contribute to the overall comfort and coziness of her new home. J
