Rain, 22 years old, PA

Wish submitted by:

Rain is a resilient college student who has faced tremendous challenges, including being homeless four times before the age of 18 and spending most of their life sleeping in a car. At one point, Rain had to sleep in a detention center due to a lack of available beds in foster care agencies. After finally finding stability in a group home, they transitioned to college, determined to pursue their education despite severe health issues. Rain battles both Lupus and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which pose significant barriers to their studies and daily life. Currently, they rely on a cane to navigate campus, but their perseverance remains unshaken. Rain is a history major, minoring in archival studies and anthropology. Rain is interested in the paranormal, the Reconstruction era of history, and playing video games.

Rain is wishing for a electric scooter to help with daily travel challenges caused by a mobility disability. Getting around campus and into town can be physically exhausting, often making simple trips feel overwhelming. With an electric scooter, Rain would be able to move more freely and comfortably without putting unnecessary strain on their body. Granting this wish would be incredibly meaningful, offering greater independence, accessibility, and relief in their daily life.
