Ashanta has shown remarkable resilience from a young age. Impacted by DCFS and eventually aging out, she stepped into the role of caregiver for her siblings, demonstrating strength and compassion well beyond her years. Today, she is thriving in college and pushing forward toward her master’s degree, determined to create a bright future for herself and her family.

Ashanta has shown incredible determination, strength, and resilience throughout her life. From stepping into a caregiver role for her siblings at a young age to thriving in college as she pursues her master’s degree, she has consistently prioritized the needs of others while working toward a brighter future for herself and her family. As she continues to navigate the demands of school, work, and personal responsibilities, Ashanta deeply values moments of self-care that allow her to pause, recharge, and honor herself. A Wax Center gift card would allow her to invest in professional self-care services that help her feel confident, refreshed, and valued. Having this experience would not just be about a beauty treatment, it would be a meaningful way for Ashanta to nurture her well-being, boost her confidence, and find moments of peace amid her busy schedule. Granting this wish would remind Ashanta that she deserves care and encouragement just as much as she gives it to others, offering a boost that supports both her emotional and physical sense of self.
