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 purchasing some art supplies. They enjoy expressing their creativity in healthy ways, especially through their art. As costs for art supplies can definitely add up, Maria would be so happy to have this expense covered so they can continue to pursue their hobbies!
