Lidia, 34 years old

Wish submitted by:

As a former foster youth herself, Lidia has now become an advocate for foster youth and former foster youth. As a Case Manager she works day in and day out to create a better world for those who are in the foster care system. She will absolutely change the world. She has overcome obstacles that make her accomplishments even more incredible. A quote from Lidia herself " I enjoy reminding others who have been through similar circumstances that the key to living a righteous, fulfilling life is a good education and the knowledge that you are worthy of love and assistance."

As a former foster youth the holidays can seem a bit confusing. This year, Lidia been inspired to buy a Christmas tree and decorate her apartment. Unfortunately, her brother passed away last November, but he truly loved the holidays so she is trying to inspire herself to be festive and brighten up her space in his memory this holiday.
