Kia, 22 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Kia is a dedicated college student majoring in education, driven by a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Growing up in a challenging environment, she spent much of her childhood in and out of juvenile detention facilities, as well as in foster homes and group homes. Before aging out of the foster care system at 18, Kia experienced the loss of her parents, who passed away. Despite these hardships, Kia has channeled her experiences into her ambitions. She loves to sing and write, using her creativity as a means of self-expression and healing. Kia aspires to be a role model for other girls who have faced similar struggles, hoping to inspire them with her journey and demonstrate that a brighter future is possible. Her commitment to education and advocacy reflects her desire to create positive change for those who have experienced adversity.

Kia is asking for a gas gift card to help cover the cost of fuel, which has become increasingly difficult to manage. Reliable transportation is essential for her day-to-day life, and right now, the rising cost of gas is creating added stress and financial strain. She depends on her car to get to work consistently, make it to important appointments, run errands, and stay connected with family and loved ones. Granting this wish would provide Kia with stability and peace of mind. Not having to worry about whether she can afford to fill her tank would allow her to focus on her responsibilities and maintain her routine without disruption. It also helps ensure she can continue showing up for the things that matter most in her life.
