Devigne, 18 years old, CA | 35 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Devigne is a bright, creative, and resilient young woman who is beginning an exciting new chapter of independence. After spending most of her life in foster care, she aged out of traditional foster care and moved into a transitional housing program, where she is experiencing living on her own for the very first time. While this transition has come with many new responsibilities, Devigne has embraced the opportunity with determination, maturity, and a positive attitude. Devigne is pursuing her education through the Automotive Program and is committed to building a successful future for herself. She is hardworking, intelligent, and motivated to create stability and independence as she navigates adulthood. Devigne has a warm and friendly personality and enjoys connecting with others. She loves staying active by going to the gym, taking walks, meditating, and spending time outdoors. She also enjoys sun-gazing, watching movies, cooking, exploring coffee shops, and spending quality time with friends. A talented and creative individual, Devigne loves painting and listening to music as forms of self-expression. She is also vegan and enjoys learning new ways to prepare healthy, plant-based meals.

As a full-time student in the automotive program at Riverside City College, Devigne is dedicated to her education and personal growth. While she is embracing her independence, transportation poses one of her biggest challenges. A bicycle would provide her with a reliable and affordable way to navigate her community. She could use it to travel to school, run errands, attend appointments, go to the gym, and explore job opportunities without relying on others for rides. In addition to serving as transportation, a bike would support her active lifestyle and help her maintain both her physical and mental well-being. This bike would grant Devigne greater independence, increase her access to resources and opportunities, and reduce transportation barriers as she continues to transition into adulthood. Ultimately, a bicycle would be more than just a means of transport—it would be a valuable tool that keeps her connected, productive, and successful in her daily life.
