Danielle C., 18 years old, MO | 31 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Danielle has ambitious goals in cosmology and is considering pursuing a business degree in college, which she believes will help her achieve her dream of owning a salon one day. She entered care at just 9 years old and has overcome many challenges throughout the years. Danielle is resourceful and determined, able to push herself to accomplish her goals. She is skilled at voicing her needs and advocating for herself. With a fantastic personality that attracts others, Danielle values receiving gifts, but she also enjoys shopping for the people she cares about. She has a passion for makeup and loves dressing up. Some of her favorite activities include arts and crafts, spending time with family and friends—whether it’s watching a movie or having dinner together. Danielle enjoys reading, particularly romance novels, and she loves writing as well. She has many dreams and possesses the tenacity to achieve them.

Due to her foster family's schedule, Danielle is currently able to work on her LifeSet program only once a week, depending on when they can take her. She aims to complete her HiSET this year and has aspirations to pursue cosmology afterward. Danielle has requested a laptop to enable her to complete online programs. Having a laptop would provide her with greater flexibility and freedom to finish the program more quickly and efficiently. It would also help her achieve her goals of continuing her education.
