Elvira V., 20 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Elvira is a dedicated and caring young woman who continues to show strength and determination as she builds a stable and fulfilling life for herself. Having experienced challenges in her foster care journey, she now channels her compassion into helping others through her work at a senior center and her desire to join a community project that builds tiny homes for people experiencing homelessness. Elvira recently started college, studying sociology, philosophy, and English, and is passionate about understanding people and making a difference. Outside of school and work, she enjoys baking and creating a warm home environment with her boyfriend. Elvira’s resilience, kindness, and motivation to grow personally and academically make her a truly inspiring individual.

Elvira is asking for a stand mixer to help her continue growing her passion for baking, a hobby that brings her joy and comfort as she builds her new home and balances school and work. Baking allows her to express creativity and share something special with the people around her. Having a mixer would make it easier for her to make homemade bread and baked goods, saving money and allowing her to practice a skill she truly enjoys. This gift would not only support her love for cooking but also help her create a sense of warmth, stability, and accomplishment in her new apartment.
