Vanessa, 20 years old, OR | 12 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Vanessa entered foster care at six and moved between over twenty different homes in twelve years before aging out. This constant change taught her to adapt quickly and build resilience, even when she lacked stability. Now in college, Vanessa is starting a new chapter. She shares an apartment with a roommate and is learning to create her own sense of home. She enjoys cooking, finding joy in making nourishing meals, and loves to sing, using her voice to express herself. Most importantly, she values spending quality time with loved ones, focusing on connection and joy as she builds a life that reflects who she is, not just her past.

Vanessa is asking for a comfy green shirt—something soft enough to lounge in, easy enough to wear out, and cozy enough to feel like a gentle hug throughout the day. She’s not looking for anything flashy, just a simple, breathable shirt in her favorite shade of green that makes her feel relaxed and at ease. Whether she’s running errands, curling up with a book, or spending time with friends, Vanessa wants a shirt that feels good on her skin and brings a little extra comfort to her everyday moments.
