Wish submitted by:

Halima is a confident and resilient young woman who continues to demonstrate determination in achieving her goals. While her support circle is small, she has built a strong and meaningful relationship with her CASA, who has been a consistent source of encouragement. As a teenager, Halima lived in a group home before transitioning into Extended Foster Care housing, where she worked diligently toward her personal and educational goals. In July 2025, she proudly earned her GED, a milestone that reflects her perseverance and commitment to her future. Halima is enrolled part-time at a community college in San Diego, balancing her academic pursuits with career development. She is working closely with a job coach to secure employment and is also in the process of becoming a mentor for youth who have experienced similar life challenges—further demonstrating her drive to give back and support others. In her free time, Halima enjoys relaxing at home and appreciates good food, which brings her comfort and joy.

Halima has worked incredibly hard to find stability in her life after overcoming many challenges in her youth. She’s determined to keep moving forward through her education and by giving back as a mentor. However, like everyone, she also needs healthy ways to rest and recharge. Having a TV would offer her a simple yet meaningful source of comfort and relaxation, providing a much-needed outlet for stress relief. In those quiet moments, a TV could serve as more than just entertainment; it would be a positive way for Halima to cope during her downtime, supporting her mental health and helping her create a sense of home in her space. After all she has accomplished and the goals she continues to pursue, a TV would be a valuable tool for nurturing her well-being and maintaining balance in her life.
