Marita, 19 years old, PA | 23 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Marita has been in foster care the majority of her life and has experienced a great deal of abuse and trauma. In her current foster home, she has established some stability. She successfully graduated from high school and currently attends a public university where she is studying criminal justice. She is a smart, resilient young lady who wants to have a positive impact in her future.

Marita is studying criminal justice in college, working toward a degree that will let her help others who've been impacted by the foster care system, just as she was. A pair of AirPods would support her in multiple ways. They would give her a reliable way to focus during lectures and study sessions, and offer a simple coping mechanism when she needs to decompress by putting on music to clear her head and recharge. Both matter for Marita as she works to graduate successfully and turn her experience into something that helps others.
