Brenda, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Brenda is an inspiring young woman from El Salvador who moved to the U.S. at 12. Her journey through foster care began in 9th grade after being separated from her beloved father. The separation was devastating, but Brenda believes that everything in life happens for a reason. Despite the challenges, including a language barrier, Brenda graduated from high school and went on to college, eventually becoming a permanent resident. Brenda draws strength from her faith in God. In her free time, Brenda enjoys dancing, singing, listening to music, exploring new places, and spending time with her partner.

Brenda is also hoping to receive a pair of AirPods to support both her emotional well-being and her practical needs at work. As someone who finds comfort and motivation in music, having AirPods would allow her to enjoy moments of peace and reflection during her day. Music is a small joy that helps her stay grounded while navigating life’s many transitions. Beyond personal enjoyment, AirPods would also serve a critical function in her job. Brenda’s new role occasionally requires her to answer phone calls or respond to emergencies quickly, and she often needs to stay connected while working with both hands. The hands-free feature of AirPods would allow her to remain attentive and responsive, which is especially important in work environments that demand multitasking and fast communication. For Brenda, this item represents more than convenience—it’s a key tool for staying employed, connected, and emotionally supported throughout her day.
