Elizabeth, 34 years old, CO

Wish submitted by:

Elizabeth is a helpful, kind, and supportive individual who continues to build a meaningful life after aging out of foster care. She is actively involved in supporting a local nonprofit and finds purpose in giving back to her community. Elizabeth is currently pursuing her bachelor’s degree in social work with the long-term goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), working within school systems to support youth. Her personal goals include securing a place to rent and moving out of her brother’s home, undergoing gastric bypass surgery as part of her health journey, and continuing her higher education. Elizabeth is committed to growth, stability, and creating a future where she can support both herself and others.

Elizabeth is preparing for gastric bypass surgery and will need to adjust her diet as she relearns how to eat. Having a blender would help her create the smooth, nutritious foods necessary for her recovery and long-term health. This tool would make it easier for her to follow post-surgery dietary guidelines, support her healing process, and help her stay on track with her health goals.
