Erlinda, 19 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 04/24

Wish submitted by:

Erlinda is a bright and resilient young woman who entered the foster care system at the age of 12 and has continued to push forward with determination and hope. Despite the challenges she has faced, she remains focused on building a better future for herself and others. She is currently enrolled in school, majoring in psychology, with the goal of becoming a therapist. Erlinda is deeply passionate about giving back and hopes to make a meaningful difference in the foster care system by supporting youth who have experienced similar journeys.

Recently, Erlinda has faced unexpected financial challenges that caused her to fall behind on her water bill. With the demands of school and limited income, catching up has been difficult. This support would help prevent her water from being shut off, allowing her to maintain a stable and safe living environment. Receiving this assistance would significantly reduce stress and allow Erlinda to stay focused on her education and future goals. It would mean so much to her to have this basic need met while she continues working hard to build a better future.
