Kahlia, 19 years old, CA | 39 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kahlia often feels older than her age. While most people her age are stressing about prom or college, she has already lived in seven different homes, some welcoming and others just temporary. For her, school is more than just getting a diploma; it’s a way to prove that she can see something through to the end. Right now, she’s focused on stability—keeping her apartment, finishing school, and figuring out what comes next. She may not have everything planned out, but she believes she can build a steady life that’s really her own.

Kahlia recently moved into her own apartment and has found that she doesn't have enough storage space for all her belongings. Many of these items hold significant sentimental value, as they helped her navigate life while moving between different homes in the foster care system. This storage cabinet would greatly assist her in organizing and keeping her treasured possessions safe.
