Jalina, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jalina is a young teenager who has been in foster care for a few years. She has faced her share of challenges but has actively worked through her trauma healing journey. She is doing well in her supervised independent living facility and is preparing to become a first-time mom.

Jalina is an excited and proud first-time mom, fully embracing the journey of pregnancy with a heart full of anticipation. As she prepares to welcome her baby girl, she is deeply aware of the challenges ahead. Despite her pregnancy being high-risk due to elevated blood pressure, Jalina is managing the situation with remarkable strength and dedication, carefully following every doctor's recommendation. Her commitment to her health and the well-being of her baby is unwavering. While she knows her new family will face obstacles, Jalina is determined to give her daughter the best life possible. One of her greatest wishes is to have a car seat and stroller combo so she can take her little girl to doctor’s appointments, stroll to the bus stop, and enjoy peaceful walks together — making cherished memories along the way.
