Foster Greatness

Cara is a resilient young woman who aged out of foster care at 18. Despite experiencing homelessness, she has fought for custody of her brother and is currently working as a waitress while studying to become a registered nurse. After the tragic loss of her sister in a car accident last year, Cara dreams of starting a program in South Carolina to support foster youth. An artist and aspiring author, she is writing a book about her journey to achieve her goals and give back to others.

Cara is hoping for a Regal gift card so she can go to the movies on her birthday. This year, she won't have anyone to spend the day with, and the holidays have been particularly challenging as she continues to grieve the loss of her sister. Being able to see a movie and enjoy a meal would provide her with a meaningful way to acknowledge her birthday, rather than spending the day alone at home. This gift would mean a lot to Cara because it offers a small yet significant moment of joy and normalcy during a difficult time. It would give her something to look forward to and a way to honor herself on a day that often feels isolating. This experience would provide comfort, distraction, and a reminder that she deserves to celebrate, even amidst hardship.
