Caitlyn, 19 years old, CA | 12 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 08/07

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 wishing for a reliable home printer to support her as she begins her exciting new chapter in college. As she works toward her dream of entering a cosmetology program, she will need to print out class assignments, study guides, scholarship applications, and professional resumes. Because she is balancing work and school independently, having a printer at home will save her the critical time and financial strain of relying on commercial print shops. This practical gift will keep Caitlyn organized, prepared, and fully equipped to succeed as she works toward her career.
