Halima, 19 years old, CA | 24 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Halima is a confident and resilient young woman who continues to demonstrate determination in achieving her goals. While her support circle is small, she has built a strong and meaningful relationship with her CASA, who has been a consistent source of encouragement. As a teenager, Halima lived in a group home before transitioning into Extended Foster Care housing, where she worked diligently toward her personal and educational goals. In July 2025, she proudly earned her GED, a milestone that reflects her perseverance and commitment to her future. Halima is enrolled part-time at a community college in San Diego, balancing her academic pursuits with career development. She is working closely with a job coach to secure employment and is also in the process of becoming a mentor for youth who have experienced similar life challenges—further demonstrating her drive to give back and support others. In her free time, Halima enjoys relaxing at home and appreciates good food, which brings her comfort and joy.

Halima has been showing a lot of strength as she recovers from a serious accident in October 2025. She has been spending most of her time at home resting, healing, and taking care of her medical needs. During this time, small daily routines have helped her feel more comfortable, like enjoying a warm cup of coffee. She is hoping for a Keurig coffee maker so she can easily make coffee at home without needing to leave her space. Coffee also helps her on days when she has migraines and may bring some relief. Having a Keurig would make it simple for her to prepare coffee when she needs it and help her keep a small daily routine while she continues healing.
