Lottie, 21 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Lottie has been couch-surfing with friends, using her time to turn an empty apartment into a space that feels like her own. With a passion for art, she’s filled it with her paintings and has gathered the essentials like canvas, acrylics, and brushes. After earning her GED, she’s now pursuing an Associate’s degree at a local community college, showing her commitment by specifically requesting a scientific calculator. Supported by foster care along the way, she’s building her future one class and one piece of furniture at a time.

Lottie is out in the elements every day getting to school and work, and the umbrella she’s been relying on isn’t holding up. In her own words, the dollar store version “is not working out” and she’ll be left without one if she can’t find a replacement. She’s not asking for much; just something sturdy and reliable in basic black that will actually keep her dry when she needs it most.
