Celeste, 18 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Celeste was raised by her great-grandparents from the day she was born. She lost the woman she called "Mom" when her great-grandmother fell ill and passed away. Following this loss, her great-grandfather, the only guardian she had left, decided he could no longer care for her. This heartbreaking decision forced Celeste into the foster care system just as she was approaching adulthood. Feeling alone in an unfamiliar world, Celeste could have easily lost hope. Instead, she has fought to stay on track, displaying unwavering determination to succeed. Despite the emotional and personal struggles she has faced, she remains dedicated to her education.

Celeste, now living independently as a non-minor dependent, is about to start at a local community college. Her need for an electric scooter is not just a convenience, but a crucial tool for her daily life. It will enable her to commute to and from campus, work, and the grocery store, saving her valuable time and ensuring her independence.
