Enrique, 28 years old, CA | 19 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Enrique currently works as a resource navigator for iFoster. Having been in the foster care system himself, Enrique is deeply committed to making a positive impact on others. Recently, he achieved a major milestone by moving into his first apartment, a big step toward independence and personal growth. In addition to his professional work, Enrique has a passion for cooking and enjoys experimenting with different ingredients, transforming food into a form of art. One of Enrique’s greatest life goals is to leave a lasting, positive impact on his community and those around him. He’s drawn to roles that focus on giving back and making meaningful differences in people’s lives.

Enrique has a powerful opportunity to travel to Sacramento and speak directly with senators about the needs of foster youth aging out of care. As someone with lived experience, he brings an authentic and critical voice to conversations that can shape real change. While he is committed and prepared to represent his community, he needs support to cover transportation getting to and from the airport, the capital, and ensuring he can fully participate in this important experience without added stress. An Uber gift card would provide Enrique with safe, reliable transportation, allowing him to focus on what truly matters: advocating for foster youth and pushing for better support systems.
