Dinah, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Dinah is a resilient young woman who has overcome many obstacles in her life. She is currently in therapy to support her continued healing and personal growth. Dinah and her siblings entered the foster care system at a young age and were unfortunately separated. Despite everything she has been through, Dinah always wears a smile and embraces life with positivity. She finds joy in her daily life through the hobbies she loves. Now that Dinah is an adult, she lives in an extended foster care apartment and is able to visit her siblings on weekends. She holds them close to her heart and describes them as her best friends.

Dinah is preparing for a fresh start after an unexpected situation required her to move into a new extended housing program. While she is grateful for this opportunity, starting over means she needs to rebuild some of the basics. A Walmart gift card would allow Dinah to purchase essential hygiene products along with important household items like cleaning supplies and kitchen necessities to make her new apartment feel like home. Supporting her in this transition not only meets her immediate needs but also gives her stability, comfort, and dignity as she takes this next step forward. This wish is split into two parts. This is wish 1 of 2.
