Marisol, 17 years old, OR | 24 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Marisol lives in a foster home, and after so much change, she is finally beginning to feel comfortable, happy, and settled. Marisol has been doing well in school, working hard in her classes, and finding new opportunities to discover her interests and build confidence in herself. It's wonderful to see her finding happiness in the little things and beginning to enjoy this chapter of her life. One of the things Marisol is most excited about is joining her school's track team! She loves to run because, in those moments when her feet hit the ground, she doesn't have to think about anything else. Running gives her a chance to clear her mind, let go of her worries, and simply feel free. For Marisol, track is an outlet where she can find peace, feel strong, and focus on something that brings her genuine happiness.

Marisol needs a few tanks of gas to get through the week and ease the stress of everyday life. With gas costs continuing to rise, extra support with transportation would make a meaningful difference. Whether it's getting to school, attending activities, or simply getting where she needs to go, reliable transportation is essential to maintaining a sense of stability and independence. As Marisol continues to settle into her foster home, do well in school, and explore new opportunities like joining the track team, having one less thing to worry about would mean so much.
