Mila, 23 years old

Wish submitted by:

Mila and her brother were raised by their grandmother until Mila turned 16, when their grandmother's dementia led to heartbreaking separations. Mila and her brother were placed in group homes. Growing up quickly, Mila faced a tough childhood marked by her mother’s addiction and abuse, leading to their removal from home. Now, despite having only a third-grade education and never finishing high school, Mila is determined to earn her GED and pursue a nursing career for stability. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, walking in parks, making jewelry, writing songs, photography, and singing. With support, she dreams of becoming an actress or model.

Despite the difficulties Mila has faced throughout her life, she has been attending therapy and is working hard to heal from her past. She currently holds a job as a per diem employee, which means her finances are inconsistent; however, she is determined to improve her future by obtaining her GED to secure a stable job. Mila recently found a beautiful bomber jacket she loves. As someone with anemia, she wishes for assistance in purchasing this jacket for its warmth, but also wants it to be stylish and make her feel confident.
