Lilly, 21 years old, PA

Wish submitted by:

Lilly grew up in a tumultuous home where she took on the responsibility of caring for her six younger siblings, with her father absent from their lives. At the age of nine, she was placed into foster care due to homelessness and was raised by two foster parents until she was 17, when she was officially adopted. Now a Criminal Justice and Paralegal Studies major with a minor in Psychology, Lilly is passionate about her studies and determined to make a difference. In her free time, she enjoys reading, cleaning, and expressing her creativity through painting and drawing. Lilly’s resilience and dedication continue to shape her path forward.

Lilly is having difficulty coping with the approaching winter weather, which is affecting her ability to focus as a college student. She does not have the appropriate winter clothing and warm layers needed to stay healthy and productive. A gift card would help her acquire the essential warmth and comfort she needs, allowing her to focus on her education rather than worry about the biting cold.
