Vangie, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Vangie is a resilient and reflective young adult who recently aged out of foster care. They have endured significant hardship but remains determined to move forward with optimism. They are currently working part-time and focusing on building independence and emotional resilience. Vangie is working on budgeting, communication, and self-advocacy—key skills for adulthood. Despite past struggles, they greet each day with hope and is actively looking for tools and resources that can help them succeed. Their ultimate goal is a stable, empowered future where they can advocate for themselves and others.

Vangie recently graduated as an esthetician and is just beginning their career in the beauty and wellness industry. Having their own professional equipment would allow Vangie to begin building their client base, gaining experience, and generating the income needed to support their independence. Granting this wish would be an investment in Vangie's future.
