Sindy, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Sindy's journey through foster care wasn't easy. Spending many years in the system came with challenges, but she has never let her past define her future. After leaving foster care, she has worked hard to build an independent life and is determined to create a stable and successful future for herself. One of Sindy's greatest sources of support has been her aunt, who has stood by her every step of the way and continues to encourage her as she pursues her goals. Sindy is currently attending school to become a surgical technician. While balancing school, she also works part-time whenever opportunities arise, demonstrating her dedication and strong work ethic. Sindy's biggest goal is to become fully independent. Despite the obstacles she has faced, she continues to push forward with resilience, determination, and hope.

Sindy wishes for a beach umbrella to help her as she works toward becoming more independent. During the week, she attends school to become a surgical technician and works part-time whenever she can. On weekends, she goes to different beaches where she sells snacks, hot dogs, and sand toys to earn extra income and help cover her expenses. Spending hours under the hot sun can be exhausting, especially without any shade. A beach umbrella would protect her from the sun and make it easier and safer for her to continue growing her small side business. This beach umbrella would help Sindy stay comfortable as she works hard to achieve her goal of becoming financially independent.
