DE DFS - New Castle County

Nihaya's journey this past year has been really inspiring! With the help of her foster family and her own determination, she has made amazing progress. She welcomed her beautiful daughter into the world and has embraced motherhood with grace, maturity, and a lot of love. Even though she's faced doubt from others and not much support from her biological family, Nihaya has stayed focused on building a better future for herself and her baby girl. At first, she might seem quiet, but those who know her are drawn to her funny and vibrant personality. Nihaya loves to bring smiles and laughter to everyone around her. She enjoys spending time with friends, her foster family, and most importantly, making precious memories with her daughter. Nihaya's strength and growth show us that with the right support and mindset, we can always make positive changes in our lives.

Nihaya would greatly appreciate a Polaroid Instax camera. This gift would have a significant impact on her self-esteem, reminding her that people outside of her foster family are proud of her accomplishments and are cheering her on. After overcoming many challenges to graduate and becoming a devoted young mother, a Polaroid camera would provide her with a way to capture the special memories she is creating — from milestones with her baby girl to moments of joy and connection with those who support her. It’s more than just a camera; it’s a means to celebrate how far she has come and all that lies ahead.
