Alexia, 18 years old, NJ | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Care Plus NJ

Alexia is enrolled in a Bachelor’s Program for Child Advocacy and Policy, where she is working toward her dream of advocating for children and families in need. Her passion for this field comes from her own personal experiences, which have shaped her desire to be a voice for others who may not have one. Living independently in her own apartment, she demonstrates strength, maturity, and responsibility beyond her years. Balancing her education with the demands of daily life is not always easy, but her determination and resilience continue to push her forward. She is deeply committed to turning her challenges into motivation, using them as fuel to create a brighter future for herself and to make a lasting difference in the lives of children.

A dedicated sophomore pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Child Advocacy and Policy, the young adult is deeply committed to her education. However, transportation has become a significant barrier to her success. Relying on public transit often results in lengthy journeys that exceed an hour, punctuated by multiple stops in high-traffic areas. This leads to frequent delays, making it challenging for her to arrive to class on time. Providing Uber gift cards would offer her a reliable commuting option, allowing her to concentrate on her studies without the added stress of inconsistent transportation. This wish has been divided up so that Alexia can grab a few rides. This is wish 1 of 2.
