Gabe, 22 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Gabe entered foster care at the age of eight and experienced multiple placements throughout her journey. She is pursuing her associate degree in Studio Art while working toward full independence after facing housing instability and transitioning out of difficult living situations. Her experiences have strengthened her resilience, adaptability, and determination to continue moving forward despite uncertainty. Along the way, she has learned to advocate for herself, balance school, work, and personal responsibilities, and remain focused on building a stable future. Her strengths include creativity, determination, and loyalty. Art serves as one of her greatest passions and outlets, allowing her to express emotions, heal from challenging experiences, and connect with others. She enjoys drawing, painting, writing poetry, and creating meaningful artwork that reflects her life experiences. She also values personal growth, supporting others whenever possible, and cultivating strong, positive relationships.

Gabe is asking for help getting a scooter to use for transportation to and from work while she saves up to buy a car. Having reliable transportation would help her get to work more easily, keep her job, and become more independent. It would also reduce stress around commuting. This support would help Gabe continue building stability and working toward being self-sufficient.
