Halima, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Halima is a confident individual who demonstrates determination in achieving her goals. Although her support circle is small, she has a strong relationship with her CASA, who encourages her. After living in a group home, Halima transitioned into Extended Foster Care, working hard toward her educational goals. In July 2025, she earned her GED, showcasing her commitment to her future. Currently, she is enrolled part-time at a community college in San Diego, balancing academics with career development while working with a job coach for employment. Halima is also becoming a mentor for youth with similar life challenges, reflecting her desire to give back.

Halima recently survived a serious car accident that left her hospitalized with significant injuries. While she’s expected to be discharged in the next few weeks, her recovery will be long and challenging. Once home, Halima will still be in rough shape. Simple daily tasks like cooking or grocery shopping will be difficult, if not impossible. With very little support at home, even getting a basic meal will be a source of stress and struggle. An Uber Eats gift card would make a world of difference, allowing her to have warm, nourishing meals delivered straight to her door, giving her one less thing to worry about as she focuses on healing.
