Nakyra, 21 years old | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

DE DFS - New Castle County

Nakyra’s story showcases her amazing strength and determination. As a single mom of two, she faced tough challenges over the past year, including homelessness and unemployment. But Nakyra never lost hope. Her children inspire her to keep going and change their lives for the better. She made a promise that they would never enter the foster care system like she did, and that drives her every day. Recently, Nakyra found a job and is working hard to secure a stable home for her family. She believes that her current situation doesn't define her future. Even though she’s a bit shy, her love for her children shines in everything she does—whether it's creating happy moments with them or making hard decisions to provide stability and happiness. Nakyra’s journey is a beautiful reminder of how powerful perseverance and a mother’s love can be. Her quiet strength and dedication inspire everyone around her.

Nakyra would be thrilled to receive a gift just for herself—something rare for a young mother who always prioritizes her children. A gift card would allow her to shop for new clothes and select a few items she truly loves, just for her. As she prepares to move into her own apartment and continue building the life she has worked so hard for, this simple act of self-care would serve as a powerful reminder that she is deserving, valued, and seen. This wish was divided up so that Nakyra could get several new outfits. This is wish 2 of 2.
