River, 19 years old, CO

Wish submitted by:

River is a creative young person with a passion for bringing ideas to life. Whether they are sewing, designing, or experimenting with 3D printing, River finds joy and purpose in creating things with their hands. Their artistic spirit and problem-solving mind make every project a new opportunity to learn and express themselves. River is working hard toward earning their degree in agriculture, a field they are deeply excited about. They dream of a future where they can use their skills and education to build something meaningful and sustainable. River spent time in foster care before being adopted, and they are now back in extended foster care as they focus on building stability and pursuing their goals. Through every challenge, they continue to show remarkable perseverance and dedication.

River relies on their art as a primary source of income, creating detailed costumes through 3D printing, work that requires constant materials to continue. Without 3D printing filament, their ability to create, sell, and sustain this creative work comes to a halt. Access to filament would allow River to keep producing new pieces, meet opportunities as they arise, and maintain momentum in a livelihood that is both creatively and financially vital. This support would directly enable River to continue building stability through their craft.
