Christal, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Christal entered foster care at a young age but has shown remarkable strength and creativity throughout her journey. She is preparing to return to school, switching her focus from child development to culinary arts, which she is passionate about. Christal dreams of opening her own bakery to create beautiful cakes and pastries. Alongside her love for cooking and baking, she enjoys painting, crafting, and dancing, which add joy to her life. This year, she is focused on becoming more independent by learning to drive and seeking a job that meets her health needs. Eventually, she hopes to move into her own apartment. With her creativity, determination, and positive attitude, Christal is 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.
