Wish submitted by:

Lee Lee is a strong and brave young woman who escaped from her abuser, who was also her guardian. Even though she comes from a big family of ten siblings who are no longer together, she has learned to take care of herself. She developed skills in cooking and hairstyling and has a strong desire to keep learning. Lee Lee dreams of joining Job Corps while also taking on side jobs, all while staying positive despite her tough situation. In her free time, she enjoys watching YouTube videos, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. Her main goal is to find a job that helps her support and uplift her community, showing her caring nature and determination.

Lee Lee is starting a new chapter in her life by moving into her own apartment. After spending years in group homes, she’s excited but needs to make her new space feel like home. One of the most important things she needs is vertical blinds to replace the sheets she has hanging at her window, which let in cold air. These blinds would help her create a more welcoming and comfortable environment. Since Lee Lee receives state assistance for her apartment and works a part-time job with very few hours, she doesn't have enough money to make these changes. This situation is really hard for her. This can help Lee Lee turn her apartment into a cozy home, giving her a sense of belonging and happiness in her new space.
