Aubrey, 19 years old, CA | 32 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Aubrey has been in foster care since she was 2 years old due to her parents abandoning her. Recently, she faced another setback when her aunt, who had been her caregiver since she was a toddler, also abandoned her. Now in a new foster home, Aubrey holds onto the hope that she can one day take care of herself and live independently. She is particularly interested in joining the military, believing it offers her the best opportunity to become successful and develop strength as an individual. In addition to her aspirations, Aubrey has a passion for the arts. Music serves as her therapy, providing an escape from the stressors she faces in life.

Aubrey is preparing for the school year, and she has some important appointments to attend! She needs to see her primary care doctor and dentist, and she also has a meeting at her foster youth office at El Camino College. Although she has a bus pass, past delays have caused her to miss appointments, and she wants to avoid that stress this time. To ensure she arrives on time, Aubrey is hoping for an Uber gift card to cover the costs of her three trips, so she can kick off the school year without a hitch.
