Wish submitted by:

Equice entered the foster system at a young age, and her early experiences shaped the strength, compassion, and determination she carries today. She has built stability through consistent work, maintaining her own apartment, growing her creative passions, reaching 10K as a content creator, and steadily expanding her hair styling business. Despite challenges with benefits, finances, and lingering impacts of childhood trauma, Equice continues to move forward with honesty and resilience. A quick learner gifted with her hands and deeply supportive of others, she remains focused on her future, planning to build her credit, return to school, and grow her business into full-time work. With support from her coach and loved ones, Equice is committed to creating the stable, independent life she has been working toward.

This Christmas, Equice is wishing for a Ceramic Non-stick Cookware set because cooking is not just a daily task for her. It brings her peace, pride, and a sense of home. As someone who entered the foster system at a young age, creating her own stable and comforting environment means a lot. Cooking has become one of the ways she expresses love for herself and others, and it’s a skill she’s naturally gifted in. Having reliable, high-quality cookware would make it easier for her to prepare nourishing meals, save money, and continue building routines that support her independence and well-being. This gift would help her feel more grounded in her space and give her the tools she needs to keep growing in something that truly brings her joy.
