Halima, 19 years old, CA | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Halima is a confident individual who demonstrates determination in achieving her goals. Although her support circle is small, she has a strong relationship with her CASA, who encourages her. After living in a group home, Halima transitioned into Extended Foster Care, working hard toward her educational goals. In July 2025, she earned her GED, showcasing her commitment to her future. Currently, she is enrolled part-time at a community college in San Diego, balancing academics with career development while working with a job coach for employment. Halima is also becoming a mentor for youth with similar life challenges, reflecting her desire to give back.

Halima wishes for an Uber Eats gift card to help ensure she has access to meals while recovering from an upcoming surgery. Since a traumatic accident in October 2025, Halima has faced a long and challenging recovery process that has included multiple surgeries and ongoing medical care. As she prepares for another surgery, Halima anticipates returning to a period where her mobility will be significantly limited and she will be unable to walk independently. While Halima is fortunate to have some support from people in her life who assist her when they are able, that support is not always available. There are times when her support network may be unavailable due to work, family obligations, or other commitments. During those moments, having the ability to order food directly to her home would provide an important source of stability and comfort. An Uber Eats gift card would allow Halima to access meals without having to worry about transportation, cooking, or leaving her home while recovering from surgery. It would help ensure that she can focus her energy on healing and following her medical treatment plan rather than stressing about how she will obtain food on days when assistance is unavailable. This is wish 1 of 2.
