Melissa, 17 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Melissa is a bright and driven person in foster care who is currently completing her final high school credits while also attending community college, demonstrating strong determination and commitment to her future. She is studying criminology and has a clear goal of becoming a parole officer so she can support and guide youth involved in the criminal justice system. Melissa is passionate about making a positive impact and uses her own experiences to fuel her desire to help others navigate difficult circumstances. As she continues balancing school and preparing for her career path, Melissa would greatly benefit from support that helps her stay organized, focused, and confident in her academic journey, allowing her to continue building toward her goals and creating a meaningful future.

Melissa would like a cute western-style blanket that reflects her love for country music, especially her favorite artist Ella Langley. She liked a pink blanket she found online because of its fun, cozy design that matches her personality and style. Having this blanket would give her comfort and warmth when she is relaxing after school or listening to music. It would also add a personal touch to her space and help her feel more at ease.
