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 has always loved listening to music and podcasts while riding the train. For the past four years, her trusty pair of headphones has been her constant companion. However, they recently fell and broke, leaving her frustrated and without the comfort they provided. These headphones have played a crucial role in helping her cope with the anxiety of commuting, especially after she was assaulted on the train two years ago. They allowed her to zone out and escape the chaos around her. Now, more than ever, Christina longs to replace them and regain that sense of peace during her travels.
