Wish submitted by:

Desiree is a caring individual with experience in foster care, and she is determined to help foster youth during their most challenging times. She is currently attending college and dreams of becoming a social worker, inspired by her aunt, who is also a social worker. Desiree has overcome significant challenges and has become a strong self-advocate. In her free time, she enjoys playing video games, and her favorite show is "The Last of Us."

Desiree has been living in Utah for almost a year. She is also taking online classes and has only $5.32 in her savings after paying for classes. Desiree has been feeling very homesick and needs a way to drive to her hometown of Granada Hills and back so she can see her family. A gas gift card will help give Desiree a spend time with her loved ones, and give her the strength and moral support she needs to continue focusing on her studies. This is wish 1 of 3.
