Khalea, 2 years old, LA

Khalea is a sweet and curious girl who brings light into a very difficult situation. She lives in a shelter with her mother, where stability and routine are hard to maintain. Her mother is unable to work because there is no access to childcare, and her father can only pick up occasional work due to a felony background that makes employment difficult. With no family support, every responsibility falls solely on her parents, creating constant financial and emotional stress. Khalea’s mother battles severe depression while still doing everything possible to provide safety and love. Through all of this, Khalea remains joyful and resilient, finding comfort in music, cuddles, and exploring the small world around her. A wish for her would bring comfort, hope, and a moment of joy beyond the hardship her family endures.
