Kaytlynn, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Kaytlynn is an incredibly kind and respectful young person. Though she has encountered many obstacles during her years in foster care, her dedication and perseverance to graduate high school and enroll in college remains unbreakable. Kaytlynn has a very clear objective of who she wants to be. She has a passion for real estate but also holds a strong desire to become a doctor one day. Her independent skills, self-discipline and eagerness to learn every day will help her achieve the goals that she has set up for herself.

Kaytlynn is stepping into an exciting new chapter in her life as she gets ready to move into her very first apartment! After some time in a transitional housing program, this moment feels like a wonderful chance for independence and a fresh start. However, as she packs up her things, there’s a little weight on her heart — she doesn’t have a mattress to take with her. For Kaytlynn, a mattress isn’t just a piece of furniture; it represents comfort, stability, and a cozy place to unwind after a long day. It’s the foundation of her new beginning, a special spot where she can dream big and feel free from the past. The thought of sleeping on the floor in her new home makes her feel a bit sad and uncertain. As she navigates this big transition, all Kaytlynn really wishes for is something simple yet so meaningful — a mattress. It might seem like a small request, but for her, it carries the promise of warmth and safety as she steps into this exciting unknown. This mattress would not only meet a need but also serve as a reminder that she’s deserving of a fresh start and a place to truly call her own.
