Cheryl, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Cheryl grew up moving from home to home, learning early how to survive on her own. Now, Cheryl works for the county, giving back to the same community that once carried her through her hardest years. She shows up with compassion, strength, and a determination shaped by everything she’s overcome. Cheryl's dream is to become a teacher. She wants to be the adult she needed as a child—the one who sees potential, who listens, who believes. After everything she’s survived, she’s turned her past into purpose, and her future is filled with hope.

Cheryl wants to make a positive impact on the world, and one way she aims to do this is through recycling. To help with this, she would like to have a dual trash can that allows her to separate recyclable items from regular waste. Having a dedicated recycling bin encourages consistent recycling habits, helping keep her home cleaner and more organized. It also supports a more sustainable lifestyle by reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and making everyday recycling simple and convenient.
