Jade, 25 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

As a former foster youth from a rural, multicultural background, Jade has faced immense challenges, including learning disabilities and family instability. Despite navigating the impacts of addiction and violence within her family, Jade has become the first in her family to graduate high school, earn an associate’s degree, and now complete her BA. She has managed to achieve all of this while coping with a disability and supporting herself after losing her job due to nonprofit funding cuts. Now, she is focused on healing and aims to build independence while giving back through a future career in psychology.

A fan would help keep Jade's room cool and comfortable, especially during warm nights when it can be difficult to sleep. Better airflow would help her get more consistent, restful sleep, allowing her to wake up refreshed and better prepared to focus on school, work, and her personal goals. This support would contribute to a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
