Angelique, 18 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Angelique is a full-time student at a cosmetology school. She aspires to do nails and hair once she completes school. She also works on the weekends to assist herself financially. Angelique enjoys art and listening to music on her own time. She has recently transitioned into an independent living program after aging out of the foster care system. She continues to be resilient and work through her goals despite barriers.

Angelique has recently joined an independent living program. Her days are long as she balances beauty school and work, which makes it challenging for her to cook and prepare meals each evening. A rice cooker could really help her as she learns to cook independently. She is committed to working hard to achieve her goals and to fully embrace living on her own.
