Marcela, 22 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Marcela, a bright and driven young woman from South America, has made impressive strides in her new home. In an attempt to overcome language barriers, she has committed herself to English classes at community college, in hopes of achieving the proficiency needed to begin her higher education. She recently secured a position at Burlington Coat Factory, a significant accomplishment she's truly enjoying as she continues to forge her path forward.

In addition to her academic progress, Marcela recently completed and passed a phlebotomy certification course, bringing her one step closer to beginning a career in the healthcare field. As she prepares for employment opportunities and interviews, she is in need of appropriate clothing that will help her feel confident and prepared in professional settings. This would allow Marcela to purchase much-needed work clothes and essentials as she continues taking important steps toward independence, education, and career success. This wish would support not only her practical needs but also the confidence she deserves as she enters this exciting new chapter of her life. This is wish 2 of 2.
