Wish submitted by:

Leah is a strong-willed individual who refuses to let the hardships of her past hinder her pursuit of her dreams. Despite being told by her family that she would never be able to succeed on her own, she is currently enrolled in college. Leah is actively involved in various clubs and is passionate about advocating for other foster kids, just like herself. In addition to her advocacy work, Leah loves to draw and create art in many forms. She uses art as a means to express her emotions and to create meaningful gifts for those around her. Although Leah was adopted, she has had to navigate her life independently after being left to figure things out on her own. Throughout all of this, she never goes a day without wearing a big, bright smile, consistently finding joy and positivity in everything life has to offer.

Leah is a college student navigating the challenges of living independently for the first time. With several dietary allergies, she finds it difficult to find suitable meals on campus, prompting her decision to start cooking for herself. To make this endeavor successful, she needs essential kitchen supplies and ingredients. Leah is also planning to move off campus eventually, so any items she purchases will not only help her now but will also be useful in her future home. With determination and the right tools, she hopes to create meals that cater to her dietary needs while enjoying her culinary exploration.
