Maya, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Maya is a dedicated college student who has been in foster care since a young age. After aging out, she faced challenges securing stable housing and spent about six months living in a shelter. She has now secured a small studio apartment and is excited for this new chapter of independence. Maya remains focused on her education and future.

Maya often walks from her home to her college classes, but her current shoes are worn out and uncomfortable. A new pair of shoes would significantly improve her daily routine, helping her feel more comfortable, confident, and prepared as she works hard toward her goals. This small gesture would mean a lot to her as she continues to build stability and independence for herself.
