Sherrell, 26 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Sherrell is an artsy, creative spirit full of energy and drive. Sherrell loves getting ready to go out on the town and spending time with family and friends. She has recently been putting much time back into herself. Sherrell would do anything for those she cares for and is learning to do the same for herself. She hasn't shared much about her foster care journey. However, it was difficult enough to where she took her own teenage niece in for a few weeks so that her niece wouldn't have to experience the system the way that Sherrell was forced to. Some of Sherrell's favorite things include finding the best pair of heels, singing, theater, and eating delicious foods. Sherrell currently attends SFSU and is working toward receiving a double major in both Theater and Public health.

For years, Sherrell has worked diligently to recover from each setback life has thrown her way. As a former foster youth, she has had to depend entirely on herself to navigate the challenges of college and life, consistently picking herself up after facing obstacles. Now, as she approaches her final year of college, Sherrell has secured a flexible security job that will provide her with financial stability while she studies. However, before she can start this job, she needs to complete an 8-hour certification course, undergo a background check, and submit her application. Your support in covering these costs would empower her to step confidently into this new chapter and finally break free from the cycle of struggle she is accustomed to.
