Danielle, 19 years old, NM | 11 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Danielle grew up in the foster care system and has recently aged out of it. She is currently living in a transitional housing program that is helping her become a successful young adult. This is a positive step for Danielle, especially since her previous program closed down and she was given minimal time to find a new place to live. Although she has limited support, she is close to her fostering connections worker, which is beneficial for her. Danielle is optimistic about her future and enjoys her newfound independence. She is exploring career opportunities that will enable her to live on her own and support herself.

Danielle is feeling excited about the future as she prepares to start working on her GED. To help her stay organized and ready for her studies, she would like a backpack to carry her school supplies, especially for the times when she is taking in-person classes rather than online courses.
