Diana, 20 years old, CA | 52 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Diana is a resilient young woman who has overcome many obstacles in her life. She has learned through therapy how to navigate the various challenges she faces in life. Diana and her siblings entered the foster care system at a young age and were unfortunately separated. Despite everything she has been through, Diana always wears a smile and embraces life with positivity. She finds joy in her daily life through the hobbies she loves. Now that Diana is an adult, she lives in an extended foster care apartment and is able to visit her siblings on weekends. She holds them close to her heart and describes them as her best friends.

Diana wishes for her own pair of roller skates so she can keep enjoying one of her favorite activities with her sister, something the two of them share at least once a week. It is something they do that is full of fun, laughter, and memories. Right now, Diana has to rent skates every time, which adds up and makes it harder to feel that personal connection to something she loves. Having her own pair would let her be ready at any time, practice at her own pace, and build real confidence on her skates. For Diana, it's a way she connects with her sister, and owning her own skates would help her keep this meaningful part of her week.
