Cynthia, 24 years old

Wish submitted by:

Cynthia is an incredible young woman currently participating in a transitional housing program for foster youth, along with her four siblings. Despite moving around three times during her time in foster care, she maintained high grades throughout high school. Cynthia has also been actively involved in community outreach programs, including beautification projects, blood drives, and assembling care packages for the homeless and the elderly. Cynthia aims to become a business administrator. While studying, she works part-time and is focused on budgeting wisely to save money to support herself and her younger siblings. Although she has not had a stable home until joining the housing program, she consistently remains positive, expressing gratitude for the homes she has lived in, the families who have shown her kindness and love, and the opportunity to study and work in the United States.

Cynthia is busy all around with her full-time studies, internship as well as volunteer work. She enjoys grocery shopping and has learned to purchase on a budget and in bulk to take fewer grocery trips. Cynthia would benefit from a gift card to Target to purchase sufficient groceries to make a holiday dinner and pastry for herself and her sisters who are all on foster care.
