Shylah, 21 years old, CA | 40 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Shylah is an energetic and outgoing college student majoring in Biology. She plans to continue her education at a medical school to become a Pediatrician after obtaining her Bachelor of Science. Shylah is a dedicated pre-med student who spends many hours studying. The transition from living with her guardian to being a fully independent first-generation college student has brought many hardships because, as a previous foster youth, she had a lot on her shoulders when it came to being able to financially support herself and maintain her overall well-being, especially her mental health. Her favorite hobbies include volunteering at healthcare clinics, painting, and hiking.

As a college student, Shylah cooks at her apartment now regularly and needs to build a reliable kitchen setup for the next academic year. This cookware set would help her prepare meals more easily and encourage her to continue cooking healthy, homemade food. She currently doesn't have her own pots and pans. She uses her roommate's cookware, and sometimes it’s inconvenient when one of them has to wait for an available pan. It would be really amazing to have her own set of cookware, some she can hopefully have for a lifetime. Granting her this wish would make a huge change!
