Melissa, 17 years old, CA | 12 DAYS WAITING

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 Sephora gift card so she can visit the store and choose makeup that fits her needs, including foundation and blush. Being able to get color matched in person would help her find the right shades for her skin tone, which would make her feel more confident and comfortable. This would also give her the chance to explore her personal style and practice self-care while she continues balancing school and working toward her goals.
