Maria, 23 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Maria spent 11 years in foster care. Her experiences with instability, trauma, and drama during those early years fueled her determination to succeed and to change the world's perception of foster children. She is extremely proud of graduating from high school and becoming a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Maria is fully committed to advancing her career.

Maria is asking for help buying some new, warm clothes for the wintertime. It's beginning to feel very chilly at night, and quality coats are very expensive to buy. They'd be so grateful to have some help buying good clothing that will last for years!
