Caitlyn, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Caitlyn is an outgoing, goal-oriented young woman who lights up every room she enters. Friendly, hardworking, and incredibly humble, she is the kind of person who shows up early, stays late, and gives her best effort in everything she does. As a former foster youth, Caitlyn has learned how to rely on herself. She works part-time as a housekeeper while waiting to be accepted into a cosmetology program — her dream is to become a professional hairstylist. She is passionate about beauty, creativity, and helping others feel confident in themselves. For Caitlyn, cosmetology isn’t just a career — it’s a pathway to stability, independence, and long-term success. Despite having minimal natural supports, Caitlyn continues to push forward with determination and grace. She rarely asks for help and takes pride in being independent.

Caitlyn is working hard to build a stable and independent future, and she hopes to have a small bedroom shelf to help make her new space feel more like home. Currently, she has limited storage, which makes it difficult to keep her books, school supplies, and personal belongings organized. A shelf would provide her with a dedicated place for the items that are important to her, while also helping her maintain a clean, comfortable, and inviting room.
