Callie, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Callie is a full-time college student majoring in Liberal Studies. She’s on track to become a teacher and brings warmth, dedication, and optimism to everything she does. In addition to her studies, Callie works part-time at two different jobs, balancing multiple responsibilities with grace and grit. After aging out of foster care and spending two years in a campus dorm, Callie joined AcademySTAY to prepare for her next chapter: independent living. She’s focused on developing stronger budgeting habits, saving for her future, and creating a stable foundation where school remains her top priority. Callie is ready to keep growing—personally, academically, and professionally—with structure, support, and self-determination.

Callie is adjusting to independent living for the first time after aging out of care and moving out of dorm housing. As a full-time college student balancing two jobs, she is focused on creating a clean, functional, and peaceful living space that supports her daily routines. This set of rustproof shower caddies would help Callie keep her bathroom organized and easily accessible, without the need for tools or permanent fixtures. With limited storage in shared housing, simple upgrades like these can make a significant difference. This gift would enhance Callie’s sense of ownership, privacy, and comfort in her new home.
