Ashia, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Ashia is a resilient young adult who is determined to use her own experiences to help others. Having faced numerous challenges growing up, she is deeply motivated to pursue a career in social work, hoping to advocate for children and families in similar situations. Her passion for making a difference is fueled by her desire to provide the same support she needed during her own journey. Ashia's empathy and strong communication skills make her an ideal candidate for a profession where understanding and compassion are key. She is dedicated to furthering her education and training, with the goal of becoming a social worker who can inspire positive change.

Ashia is requesting an Amazon gift card, giving her the flexibility to choose exactly what she needs as she continues building her independence. As a former foster youth in a transitional housing program, she works diligently to balance responsibilities such as school, work, and daily living, often with limited resources. With an Amazon gift card, she could purchase school and home essential items without the added financial stress. It would also give her the freedom to treat herself to something special, a simple but powerful reminder that she deserves comfort and joy too. Beyond its practicality, the gift would show her that others see her efforts and want to support her success. This request is broken into two parts. This is wish 1 of 2.
