Andrina, 28 years old, CA | 21 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Andrina is a thoughtful and dependable individual whose experiences in foster care have shaped her quiet strength and deep compassion. Growing up, the library became her sanctuary, a comforting escape where reading opened doors to new worlds and possibilities, offering hope during uncertain times. One of her most cherished possessions is a stuffed animal—a small beagle named Oliver, modeled after a beloved pet of her foster family. This little beagle represents one of the first moments in her life when she truly felt cared for and safe. Although Andrina may come across as reserved initially, those who truly know her recognize the depth of her caring nature. She expresses her love through actions, always ready to lend a hand, whether it’s babysitting, cleaning, or simply being there for someone in need. Her friends describe her as reliable, generous, and selfless—someone who can always be counted on. While Andrina's kindness may be quiet, it is unwavering and genuine, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those around her.

Andrina wants a Kindle so she can read books without straining her eyes and take them wherever she goes. Reading has always given her comfort, especially during her time in foster care. A Kindle would let her carry many books and read during commutes, waits, or quiet moments alone. It’s important to her because it protects her eyesight while allowing her to enjoy reading. This gift would help her unwind and stay connected to stories that bring her peace, supporting her love of reading throughout her life.
