Wish submitted by:

Kalaya is a resilient young woman currently in foster care who is working hard to complete her high school education despite the challenges she has faced. With so much change and uncertainty in her life, she continues to show determination and focus, understanding that earning her diploma is a major step toward stability and independence. Balancing school responsibilities while navigating the foster care system requires strength, maturity, and perseverance, and Kalaya demonstrates all of those qualities. She remains committed to her goals, knowing that her education is the foundation for future opportunities.

Kalaya has worked hard toward becoming a licensed driver and has already passed her permit test. Unfortunately, she lacks the funds to rent a vehicle for her practical road exam. Support for these rental fees will allow her to complete her test, gain independence, and open up vital new opportunities for employment, education, and daily responsibilities.
