Zion, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Zion entered the foster care system at the age of 14. Despite facing significant challenges, she never lost sight of her dreams. She is working hard to embrace her identity and transition into the woman she truly wants to be. Balancing school, personal growth, and life in foster care requires strength, and Zion has an abundance of it. Determined to build a future that reflects her resilience and passion, Zion aspires to become an ultrasound technician. She is particularly drawn to this career because it allows her to help others and make a meaningful difference in healthcare. Zion is excited about being part of life-changing moments for expectant families. Focused, compassionate, and driven, Zion is creating a future on her own terms. Her story exemplifies courage, authenticity, and the power of hope.

Zion is requesting a curling iron and a flat iron to help her feel more confident and express her femininity during her transition. These tools will enable her to style her hair safely and professionally, allowing her to present her most authentic self at school, interviews, and in everyday life. For Zion, these aren’t just beauty tools; they are essential instruments in her journey toward self-love, confidence, and becoming the person she has always meant to be.
