Halima, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Halima is a confident and resilient young woman who continues to demonstrate determination in achieving her goals. While her support circle is small, she has built a strong and meaningful relationship with her CASA, who has been a consistent source of encouragement. As a teenager, Halima lived in a group home before transitioning into Extended Foster Care housing, where she worked diligently toward her personal and educational goals. In July 2025, she proudly earned her GED, a milestone that reflects her perseverance and commitment to her future. Halima is enrolled part-time at a community college in San Diego, balancing her academic pursuits with career development. She is working closely with a job coach to secure employment and is also in the process of becoming a mentor for youth who have experienced similar life challenges—further demonstrating her drive to give back and support others. In her free time, Halima enjoys relaxing at home and appreciates good food, which brings her comfort and joy.

Halima is recovering from a serious car accident and will soon leave the hospital, but she faces weeks of limited mobility and pain. Simple tasks, like shopping for essentials, are difficult for her. An Amazon gift card would greatly help Halima by allowing her to order essential items, such as hygiene products and comfort items, without leaving her home. She currently has little support, and granting this wish would relieve a lot of her stress, helping her focus on resting and recovering. This is wish 2 of 2.
