Carla, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Carla is a resilient and independent young woman who recently relocated to a new city to build her future. Though she has a limited local support system, she has already achieved the major milestone of earning her high school diploma through sheer perseverance. Carla is now preparing to enroll in community college this fall to major in Child Development, fueled by her passion for supporting young children. In her free time, she focuses on building meaningful connections with new friends and exploring her community. She remains deeply committed to overcoming challenges and creating a stable, bright future for herself.

Since moving into her extended foster care apartment, she has worked hard to become self-sufficient, but she has not yet secured a job. While her transitional program provides occasional dry goods, it is difficult for Carter to afford fresh produce and perishable items on her tight budget. This gift card will give her the independence to choose nutritious foods, supporting her health and energy levels as she applies for jobs and prepares for college.
