Valerie, 23 years old, OR | 5 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Valerie is on an inspiring path to become a doctor, pouring her heart and soul into her studies. At 16, she and her sister found a new sense of belonging when they moved in with their grandparents after spending time in foster care. This change brought them the stability and love they had been searching for. When she's not deep in her textbooks, Valerie loves to cook, often crafting delicious meals that she shares with her family and friends. She also enjoys hosting fun game nights filled with laughter and friendly competition. On sunny days, when the weather is just right, she takes her bike out for a ride around the neighborhood, embracing the freedom of the open air and the little moments of happiness they bring.

Valerie is hoping for a Starbucks gift card to enjoy coffee with her friends. For her, getting coffee is about the time spent together, connecting, laughing, and chatting. Meeting at Starbucks would allow her to relax, catch up, and feel included in those important moments with friends.
