Joanna, 19 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Joanna is a passionate and determined young woman who really knows how to chase her dreams. Recently, she took a big step by moving from Los Angeles County to San Diego County, pushing herself out of her comfort zone to seek new experiences and growth. Although she’s still getting to know her new area and hasn’t made a ton of friends yet, she finds comfort in the strong bond she has with her sister. Joanna lives in a housing program, where she’s been showing a lot of stability and responsibility. She balances her weekends with work while studying in a medical program during the week, which shows just how dedicated she is to finishing her education and achieving her goals in the medical field. Juggling work and school is tough, but Joanna keeps her eyes on her goals and stays motivated. In her downtime, she loves doing her makeup, discovering new delicious foods, and relaxing at the beach. These activities help her unwind and recharge. Joanna’s resilience, strong work ethic, and positive attitude really show how committed she is to building a brighter future for herself.

Joanna is asking for an Uber gift card to help her stay focused on her education and future career. She attends her medical program every weekday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and relies on public transportation to get there. To ensure she's on time, Joanna leaves home by 6:30 a.m., showing her commitment. However, public transport can be unpredictable, and sometimes delays or missed connections make her anxious about being late or missing class. An Uber gift card would be a helpful backup for those stressful times, giving her peace of mind and a reliable way to get to school. This support would mean a lot to Joanna, allowing her to concentrate on her studies without worrying about transportation issues. This is wish 1 of 2.
