Brooke, 27 years old, CO |

Wish submitted by:

Brooke is a caring, and organized young woman who approaches life with quiet determination and thoughtfulness. After spending 11 years in foster care and aging out at 18, she developed a strong appreciation for stability, family, and community. These experiences continue to shape her desire to build a meaningful and grounded future. She is currently a full-time Biology student, working hard toward her education while focusing on personal growth and self-understanding. Brooke enjoys school and finds comfort in creative and calming activities such as crocheting, knitting, and art. She also values learning new things and uses these interests as a way to ease her mind and manage anxiety. Brooke’s current goals include improving her social skills and becoming less isolated, continuing her studies to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, and preparing to begin a job within the next two years. She is also focused on achieving passing grades in the upcoming spring semester as she continues to build momentum toward her future.

For Christmas this year, Brooke would like an electric griddle. She loves to cook, and has always wanted one as they can be incredibly convenient. Brooke struggles with chronic pain, and a portable cooking surface would allow her to sit while cooking when she is having pain flare-ups.
