Edina, 29 years old, CA | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Edina has always set high hopes for herself, even as a child. After being placed in foster care at the age of 12, she remained determined to become someone unique, not just another statistic. She has truly beaten the odds! Today, Edina is a proud mother to her sweet daughter. She is passionate about ASL and works hard to connect former foster youth with academic resources. Her dream is to travel the world, teaching sign language to those who are deaf and lack access to education. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, visiting the park, traveling, and learning American Sign Language.

As Edina prepares for cancer surgery, she is facing a challenging time balancing her recovery with caring for her daughter. A close friend has stepped in to drive her daughter to school each day, helping maintain her routine while Edina heals. A gas gift card would ease the cost of these daily trips and support the friend who is showing up for their family during this difficult season. This would give Edina one less thing to worry about, letting her focus on recovery and reminding her that she and her daughter are not alone.
