Annaliese, 18 years old, FL | 17 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Annaliese has been in and out of foster care throughout her life, without a caregiver who was consistently able to meet her needs. Despite experiencing multiple placements and different foster homes, she has worked hard to catch up in school and maintain her GPA, ultimately earning acceptance into a university. She is now preparing to attend college and is very excited about her future, as she will be the first in her family to graduate and pursue higher education. Annaliese is motivated, positive, and excited for what lies ahead.

Annaliese is in need of an electric scooter so she can reliably travel to and from her new job. Her workplace is approximately a 15-minute scooter ride from her home, and because her shifts end after the local bus service has stopped running, public transportation is not an option. She does not have access to reliable transportation or anyone available to provide rides. As a college student, maintaining steady employment is essential to supporting herself while continuing her education. Without dependable transportation, she is at serious risk of losing this job despite her strong commitment to working. An electric scooter would provide her with a safe, reliable, and affordable way to commute each day, allowing her to remain employed and continue building financial stability.
