Tanya, 22 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 11/21

Wish submitted by:

Tanya is a remarkable young individual whose strength and determination shine through every aspect of her life. Having spent much of her childhood in foster care, she has faced numerous challenges. Rather than allowing these obstacles to define her, she has used them to fuel her incredible strength and drive. Her love for the arts has always been a source of solace and self-expression. Whether through painting, music, or writing, Tanya finds comfort and freedom in creative outlets. She is particularly passionate about painting, as it allows her to express her emotions in ways that words often fail to capture. Tanya is also a dedicated student, consistently striving to learn and grow despite the challenges she has encountered. Her thirst for knowledge is unquenchable, and she hopes to pursue a career where she can help others, whether through art therapy or another service-oriented path. Her strong work ethic and determination are evident in everything she does, from her schoolwork to the support she offers her friends and peers.

This year, Tanya's in charge of making all of the desserts for Thanksgiving, and she wants to make it special for everyone. From pies and cookies to other sweet treats, the cost of ingredients adds up quickly. A gift card would go a long way in supporting her as she takes on this big (and delicious) responsibility and would truly make a difference in helping her create a memorable Thanksgiving dessert table.
