Santana, 18 years old, NM | NEEDED BY 09/05

Wish submitted by:

Santana entered foster care when she was a toddler. After moving home and spending some time with her biological parents, she returned to foster care and stayed there. She is strong-willed, resourceful, and independent. Santana has a close bond with her chihuahua, Chiquita, and enjoys spending time with friends. She takes pride in her appearance and has a talent for hair, makeup, and nail art.

Santana is starting a new chapter in her life as she secures her first apartment, a key step towards building a safe and stable environment. After facing the challenges of homelessness, she is seeking to create a restful space where she can truly feel at home. One essential item that she desperately needs is a mattress, as sleeping on the floor has taken a toll on her well-being. A safe and restful night’s sleep can make a significant difference in her journey toward healing and stability, helping her regain the strength and comfort she deserves.
