Sofia, 24 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Sofia entered the foster care system at a young age. Despite the challenges she faced early in life, she remains focused and determined. Sofia is kind, hardworking, and optimistic about her future. She is a mother of one and a student at the College of San Mateo, where she is majoring in psychology. Sofia aspires to become a social worker and wants to work in the mental health field to help others.

Sofia could really use some support getting to class, and a bit of help with gas money would make a huge difference right now. As a dedicated single mother, she works hard and is committed to her education in order to create a brighter future for herself and her son. Lately, her work has been cutting hours for everyone, which means she hasn't been able to pick up as many shifts as she'd like. This has made it tough for her to afford the gas she needs to get to school. Despite these challenges, Sofia continues to balance her job, attend her classes, and care for her son. This is wish 2 of 2.
