Cierra, 34 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Cierra is a strong and devoted mother of six children—two boys and four girls. She became a mother at a very young age, but she never allowed the challenges she faced to stop her from working toward a better future for herself and her family. Determined to set a positive example for her children, Cierra worked hard to earn her high school diploma despite the obstacles in her life. Cierra has overcome many difficulties, including working to reunite with her children after they were removed by the state. Through perseverance and dedication, she fought to bring her family back together and continues to do everything she can to provide them with love, stability, and support. While she has faced struggles with anxiety and depression, Cierra remains a courageous and determined mother who always puts her children first. She is currently working as a home health care aide while also returning to school to pursue a nursing degree so she can continue helping others and building a stable future for her family. In her free time, Cierra enjoys traveling, spending time with friends, listening to music, watching movies, and expressing her love for fashion and perfume. She is a resilient woman who continues to push forward for the sake of her children and their future.

Cierra must finish her back-to-school shopping by purchasing items from a list provided by her daughters' teacher. They have already acquired pencils, glue, colored pencils, highlighters, red, blue, and black folders, spiral notebooks, scissors, and crayons. Her children also need Clorox wipes, tissues, paper towels, zip lock bags, and a blue 1-inch binder. Providing her with a Target gift card will enable her to check off all the necessary items for her children to begin school. Cierra's children are entering 1st and 3rd grade, 4th and 5th grade, and 6th grade and high school.
