Izzy, 24 years old, MN | 43 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Izzy was fostered by their grandparents from infancy into young adulthood. They have worked diligently to learn how to meet their own needs and manage a budget. Izzy is a strong advocate for foster care in Minnesota, testifying at the state capitol and sharing their experiences through writing. In addition to this advocacy work, Izzy is busy attending college classes and spending time with their fiancé.

Izzy is requesting a walking pad so she can stay active while doing homework, watching shows, or reading at her standing desk, making it easier to stay consistent with her weight-loss goals. Since it fits right at her desk, she can walk during time she'd already be sitting still, turning everyday moments into progress without carving out extra time in her day. Getting this as soon as possible would help her hold onto the motivation she's built up around staying active, rather than losing momentum while she waits.
