Lauren’s Dream
Lauren is dreaming of a Lyft gift card. Fulfilling this dream will allow her to get to work and strengthen her business without transportation barriers slowing her down.
Lauren was placed in foster care as a teenager and aged out with no family ties or support. Without a safety net or adults she could count on, she faced homelessness and had to work three jobs just to survive. Through hard work and determination, she put herself through barbering school, got her license, and landed a secure job cutting hair. Lauren’s persistence and will to succeed allowed her to carve a path towards stability.
Currently, she is focused on growing her clientele, developing her brand, and working toward opening her own salon suite while paying off school loans. Friends describe her as ambitious, caring, and determined — someone who sets goals and follows through.
With transportation support, Lauren can stay consistent at work and continue moving toward financial independence while also pursuing her goal of mentoring foster youth through barbering and trade skills.
Cost of Dream: $400
All dreams are tax deductible.
