Ashanta, 28 years old, IL | 7 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ashanta has shown remarkable resilience from a young age. Impacted by DCFS and eventually aging out, she stepped into the role of caregiver for her siblings, demonstrating strength and compassion well beyond her years. Today, she is thriving in college and pushing forward toward her master’s degree, determined to create a bright future for herself and her family.

Ashanta is a young adult who is working toward building independence and stability while developing important daily life skills. Learning kitchen skills is an important part of helping her care for herself with confidence. She is wishing for a Prince Castle lime and lemon cutter with a container to help safely and easily slice citrus fruits into even wedges. Having this tool would make preparing meals and drinks easier, quicker, and more accessible for her. This wish would make a meaningful difference by supporting Ashanta’s independence, self-sufficiency, and continued growth in everyday living skills.
