Phillisha, 29 years old

Wish submitted by:

Phillisha is proud of herself for graduating from RCC. She loves her son and her three siblings, whom she is helping raise. She wants to give them a beautiful life of love and support. She is caring, funny, and resilient.

Phillisha grew up navigating the challenges of a turbulent childhood, marked by obstacles that would have discouraged many. However, instead of allowing her younger siblings to be placed into foster care, she made a courageous decision as a young adult: she would embrace the weight of parenthood and take them under her wing. Although life has turned out to be a bit tighter financially than she had envisioned, Phillisha feels a deep sense of fulfillment in keeping her family united and nurturing the bonds that tie them together. As the holiday season approaches, the spirit of Christmas fills the air with joy and anticipation, and Phillisha finds herself longing to surprise each of her siblings with thoughtful gifts. Among her aspirations is a special present for one of her siblings—a stylish Stray Kids backpack. She imagines the joy on their face as they unwrap it on Christmas morning, envisioning the excitement of seeing the vibrant colors and beloved designs that embody the spirit of their favorite music group. It brings her immense happiness to think that her simple yet meaningful gift could create lasting memories and strengthen the connection they share as a family.
