Marianna, 19 years old, RI |

Wish submitted by:

Marianna is a warm and caring individual who finds true joy in bringing people together through food. Her proudest accomplishment is graduating from college, a milestone that reflects her dedication, perseverance, and hard work. Cooking is more than a hobby for Marianna; it’s how she expresses love, creativity, and care for others. She finds happiness in making meals that bring comfort and smiles to the people around her, and nothing fulfills her more than knowing she’s helped make someone’s day a little brighter through her cooking.

Marianna wishes for a Ninja coffee maker so she can make café-style drinks for herself at home. Creating drinks similar to those at Starbucks would allow her to practice something she truly enjoys, making beverages that are both delicious and beautiful. Being able to experiment with different coffees, lattes, and specialty drinks would give her a creative outlet and something positive to focus on. Having this coffee maker would be especially meaningful because Marianna dreams of working at Starbucks one day. Practicing at home would help her build confidence and skills before applying, while also giving her a sense of comfort and joy in her daily routine. Making drinks for herself would be a small but powerful way for her to bring happiness into her life and work toward a goal that excites and motivates her.
