Marisa, 35 years old, OH | NEEDED BY 09/03

Wish submitted by:

Marisa is a devoted mother of three who has faced numerous challenges but remains determined to build a stable and loving future for her family. After experiencing periods of homelessness, her teens were placed in kinship care while she worked to regain stability in her life. Despite the obstacles she encountered, Marisa was excited to reunite her family under one roof. She recently achieved an incredible milestone by graduating from nursing school! Marisa finds joy in simple pleasures, such as listening to music, styling hair, applying makeup, and relaxing by watching her favorite television shows. Above all, she values spending time with her family. Whether visiting Kings Island, going to the local pool, or simply being together at home, those moments are the most meaningful to her. She continues to work hard every day to provide stability, love, and opportunity for her family.

Marisa is excited that she will be starting her nursing classes in a few weeks. This will help her family tremendously once she graduates and can start working in that field. It has been a while since Marisa has been in school; however, she remembers the amount of walking that comes with being on a college campus. Marisa is asking for a good pair of tennis shoes as she kicks off this new chapter of life in a few short weeks.
