Maria entered foster care at the age of 11, along with her siblings, and was placed with her grandmother and aunt. Adjusting to this new situation was challenging due to a language barrier and years of instability, which had set her back in school. However, with the support of mentors and counselors, she developed resilience, humility, and empathy. Maria is proud to have graduated from high school and is now continuing her education in college. Majoring in communications, she hopes to use media and journalism to advocate for foster youth. Ultimately, she aims to create a platform that connects them to valuable resources and support.

A stand mixer is a must-have for any baker, especially for someone like Maria, who wants to turn her love for baking into a business. With its strong motor and different attachments, a stand mixer makes mixing dough or batter much easier and quicker. This means Maria can spend more time being creative and perfecting her recipes. Maria could boost her baking skills and get closer to her dream of opening a bakery. This reliable tool would let her focus on making tasty treats while easing some of the stress that comes with starting a business.
