Lizandra is wishing for a beige cowgirl hat for an upcoming folklórico performance at her high school on May 8. She is excited for the opportunity to perform, but also feeling nervous, and was asked by her instructor to provide this hat as part of her costume. She is currently living with her elderly grandparents, who are on a fixed income and doing their best to provide for her needs. Receiving this wish would help her feel prepared and confident on stage while allowing her to fully participate in a meaningful cultural experience. She is hoping to receive it in time for her performance
