Christal, 21 years old, CA | 30 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Christal entered foster care when she was young, but has shown remarkable strength and creativity throughout her journey. Recently, she has been working hard to improve her life and is getting ready to go back to school. She plans to switch from studying child development to culinary arts, which she’s really passionate about. Christal dreams of opening her own bakery someday, where she can create beautiful cakes and pastries. In addition to her love for cooking and baking, she enjoys painting, crafting, and dancing, which bring her joy and purpose. This year, Christal is focused on becoming more independent. She’s learning to drive, wants to get her driver’s license, and is looking for a job that supports her health needs. Eventually, she hopes to move into her own apartment. Christal is open about her experiences in foster care and is excited to learn and grow. She appreciates programs like One Simple Wish and is always looking for guidance and opportunities. With her creativity, determination, and positive attitude, Christal is on her way to building a stable and fulfilling future.

Christal wishes for a mini fridge because it would provide her with greater independence, convenience, and stability in her daily life. Having her own small refrigerator would allow her to safely store food, drinks, and medications as needed, making it easier for her to manage her routine and take care of herself without relying heavily on others. This wish is especially meaningful for Christal due to her experience growing up in the foster care system, where she often lacked consistent access to personal items that provided comfort and stability.
