Tracy, 18 years old, VA | 19 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Tracy lost both of her parents in 2019 and is now getting ready to age out of care and start the next chapter of her life. Despite the loss and uncertainty she's faced, she's staying focused on building a positive future for herself. She loves spending time with her friends and genuinely values the people who support and encourage her. Tracy hopes to become a social worker one day so she can help others facing hard circumstances of their own.

As Tracy prepares to age out of care and start living independently, a slow cooker would be a genuinely practical tool for this next chapter. It makes cooking affordable, homemade meals far less intimidating; she can toss in ingredients in the morning and come home to a finished meal without standing over a stove or juggling multiple steps while managing everything else on her plate. It would help her save money, build confidence trying new recipes, and make the everyday task of feeding herself feel manageable instead of overwhelming as she navigates life on her own.
