Rozi, 24 years old, CA | 10 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Rozi first entered foster care as a newborn due to her parents’ struggles with substance use. She spent much of her childhood in and out of the foster care system and fully entered care at age 11, where she remained until aging out. Despite these challenges, she has built strong resilience, independence, and a determination to create a better life for herself and her daughter. Rozi is caring, strong, and hardworking. She enjoys skincare and beauty, music, and spending quality time with her daughter. She is especially proud of her ability to overcome hardship while still supporting others and staying focused on her future goals. As a single mother without family support, Rozi carries many responsibilities on her own. Her daughter has a neurological condition that requires extra care, adding emotional and financial strain. Although her family originally came to the United States as refugees, most relatives have since returned to their home country, leaving Rozi to manage parenting, school, and finances independently. Despite these challenges, Rozi is a first-generation college student who remains committed to her education and long-term stability. Support during this time would help reduce her stress and financial burden, allowing her to focus on building a secure and hopeful future for herself and her daughter.

Rozi recently moved into a new home as she prepares to transfer to a four-year university. She has successfully earned her Associate of Arts degree from a local community college and is continuing her education while raising her daughter as a single mother. As she settles into her new space, Rozi is requesting a coffee table with additional storage. This item would help her stay organized by providing space for school materials, household items, and her daughter’s belongings, while also making the most of a limited living area. Having multi-functional furniture is especially important as she works to create a stable, comfortable home on a tight budget. This support would help Rozi as she continues her education and builds a brighter future for her family.
