Gabriela, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Gabriela is an independent, goal-focused young woman who has shown strength and determination throughout her life. She entered care at a young age, and she is thankful that her aunt became her legal guardian and gave her a stable, loving home. Gabriela has always loved working with children. She worked at a daycare for over three years. Recently, she reached a big goal by opening her own in-home daycare. This shows her hard work and dedication to building a career in childcare. She is also grateful to her former boss for encouraging and helping her achieve this dream. Gabriela plans to attend community college and continue learning and grow her career in early childhood education. In her free time, she enjoys going to the beach, walking her dog, and spending time with friends.

As Gabriela grows her daycare, she needs a printer to help with her business and daily tasks. She wants to advertise her services in the community by making and handing out flyers to reach new families. A printer is also important for her day-to-day work. She would use it to print enrollment forms, emergency contact sheets, attendance records, contracts, lesson plans, and other required paperwork. She also plans to use it for the children in her care by printing learning activities like coloring pages, alphabet and number sheets, and simple educational games. A printer would help Gabriela stay organized, professional, and better support the children she works with every day.
