Christina, 21 years old, OR | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Christina entered foster care at just 12 years old after repeatedly running away from an abusive home, beginning a childhood marked by constant movement between foster placements and group homes. Without a stable place to land, she often carried a deep sense of being unloved and unseen. Those early experiences shaped how she viewed herself and the world, making it hard to trust and feel safe. But today, Christina is on a different path. She is intentionally focusing on healing—learning how to sit with her emotions, understand them, and give herself the care she was once denied. Through this journey, she is beginning to build a sense of self-love and worth that no one can take away. Christina now dreams of becoming a therapist, hoping to one day support others who have faced similar pain, turning her story into a source of strength and connection for those still finding their way.

Christina is seeking a blow dryer to make her morning hair styling easier and more efficient. Having a reliable blow dryer would save her time while getting ready for work, school, and other daily activities. This hair dryer comes with multiple attachments, enabling her to achieve different styles and be prepared to take on the day. With six settings, it would allow her to dry and style her hair more quickly, helping her start her day feeling confident and ready. A blow dryer like this would also give Christina more flexibility in caring for her hair and creating styles she enjoys. This practical item would become an essential part of her daily routine, simplifying her busy mornings and helping her look and feel her best throughout the day.
