Brie, 24 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Brie is a kind and empathetic young woman whose life has been shaped by both hardship and hope. After losing her grandmother, Brie entered the foster care system, feeling lost. However, she has grown into a resilient individual through her faith and love of the arts. Now that she has aged out of foster care, she is excited to pursue a college degree in the performing arts, especially opera and musical theatre. Her ultimate dream is to become a therapist for young children, creating a safe space for those who have experienced trauma. In her free time, Brie enjoys singing worship music and reading her Bible, finding inspiration in her faith as she continues to grow.

Brie is excited to move into her new apartment. This is her first real opportunity to create a space that feels truly her own—a place that is safe, stable, and feels like home. For most of her life, she hasn’t had the chance to settle in one place or build the sense of comfort and belonging that many people often take for granted. This new apartment symbolizes a fresh start, independence, and the beginning of something she has worked very hard for. She hopes that an area rug will complete the decor of her new apartment, helping it to feel like a home rather than just another space that is housing her.
