Beatriz, 17 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Beatriz entered foster care as a young teen and experienced over ten placements, facing constant change and uncertainty. Despite these challenges, she has shown resilience and determination. She enjoys music and dancing, which allow her to express herself and find joy. Beatriz is resourceful, hopeful, and values connection and self-expression. Her strength and perseverance set her apart as she works toward building a secure and positive future.

As Beatriz prepares for her first apartment, she is excited to create a stable and safe space of her own. She is requesting a portable dryer to support her independence as she transitions into her first apartment after years of instability in foster care. Without reliable access to laundry facilities, even basic tasks can become stressful and expensive. Having her own dryer would provide her with consistency, safety, and control over her daily routine. More than just a convenience, it represents stability and will help her build a secure, self-sufficient life, allowing her to focus on her growth and well-being.
