Belen, 30 years old

Wish submitted by:

Belen was in foster care from the age of 14 to 18 years old. During her time in care, she had an extremely hard time adapting to an environment as she was moving almost every six months. She was in 5 different homes and 7 different school until she aged out of care and was left to fend for herself.

Belen just transferred to UC Riverside and will be living in her very first apartment. This is such a huge step in Belen's life and she is so excited. She has almost everything she needs to get through the first semester, but a bed and mattress. Belen would love to be able to go to Ikea to pick out the perfect bed to give her room the homey feel she is seeking!
