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 recently landed a wonderful internship opportunity, and a mini fridge for her cubicle would be the perfect gift! It would give her a safe place to store healthy meals, snacks, and drinks, helping her stay nourished and energised through long, busy days. It would also provide a space for personal items, like medications, bringing her comfort and peace of mind. This little fridge would be more than just a convenience—it would be a small but meaningful way to make Cheryl’s workday a little easier, brighter, and more cared for.
