Gabriella, 26 years old, OH |

Wish submitted by:

Gabriella is a determined young mother who has faced many challenges but continues to work hard to build a better future for herself and her daughter. After spending time in kinship care, Gabriella eventually aged out of the foster care system and began living with a close friend while learning how to navigate adulthood on her own. Shortly after, Gabriella embraced motherhood. Becoming a parent was a turning point in her life. A moment that deeply impacted her motivated her to make important changes and fully commit to creating a stable and positive future for her daughter. Gabriella relocated to a new state to begin a fresh chapter. She is actively working through the steps necessary to regain permanent custody of her daughter and currently maintains visitation while continuing to demonstrate her dedication as a parent. Gabriella is focused on building stability, strengthening her relationship with her daughter, and creating joyful memories together. She works hard every day to prove that she is ready to provide the loving and supportive life her daughter deserves.

Gabriella is in the process of organizing her belongings after recently moving from warm Florida to cold Ohio. With the change in climate, she needs to purchase winter clothing, something she didn’t require in her previous home. In addition to finding suitable winter attire, Gabriella wishes to create extra storage space for her summer clothing and her daughter's clothes. She is hopeful to welcome her daughter back soon, and while she dreams of having a place of her own, she currently faces space limitations while staying with someone else.
