Christina, 24 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Christina entered foster care at the age of 3 and eventually aged out of the system. She is now an advocate for change in the child welfare system. Currently, she lives in her own apartment, is enrolled in college studying Business Administration, and is certified as a software engineer. Christina is resilient, hardworking, and always seeking opportunities for personal growth.

Christina is attending an all-girls Valentine's Day event with former foster youth. She would love to dress up in red or pink to represent love and kindness. Fulfilling this wish would boost her self-esteem and confidence, especially since she has never really celebrated this holiday before.
