A luggage set for Vanessa who travels long-distance to see family

Posted Nov 19, 2024
Vanessa travels to Mexico every summer to visit her parents, bringing clothes and essentials for them and other family members. She currently uses a hand-me-down luggage set given to her when she was 16, which has worn tires and often tips over when overpacked. A new Lilac Luggage set with 360-degree wheels would make her travels much smoother, especially since she travels alone and needs reliable, easy-to-maneuver luggage. This thoughtful gift would not only ease her journeys but also allow her to continue supporting her family with love and care.

Vanessa is 20 years old and lives in PA

Vanessa is pursuing a dual major in Social Work and Spanish. At just 16, she migrated to the U.S. alone, navigating challenges like homelessness and housing insecurity without family support in Pennsylvania. With her parents residing in Mexico and no local connections, Vanessa has demonstrated incredible resilience and determination. As a first-generation college student, she’s committed to breaking barriers, excelling academically, and building a better future for her family and herself. Beyond her studies, Vanessa’s vibrant personality shines through her love for painting, singing, and dancing, reflecting her strength, courage, and positivity.
