Tina, 20 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Tina moved to the United States with her parents but soon ended up in foster care. This was a difficult time for her, as adjusting to a new country and being away from family was hard. To cope, she finds joy in singing and writing songs in her notebook, which helps her express her feelings. Tina loves spending time outdoors, whether walking or relaxing in the sun, as nature calms her. She also enjoys cooking, especially recipes that connect her to her home and culture. Despite life's challenges, her creativity and love for simple things keep her spirit alive.

Tina is hoping to get an electric scooter to help her commute to and from campus more easily this year. The walk to class can be long and exhausting, especially during early mornings or bad weather. Having a scooter would make getting to class quicker, more convenient, and way less stressful. She’s already found a model she likes and is excited about the idea of riding around campus with more ease and flexibility. More than just a fun way to get around, the scooter would give her a greater sense of independence and control over her daily schedule. It would streamline her routine, help her stay on time, and make both the start and end of her day feel more manageable and confident.
