Jakayla, 19 years old, KS

Wish submitted by:

Jakyla is a kind young woman whose time in foster care has made her strong and purposeful. She wants to work in healthcare, so she is studying for her CNA and nursing school tests because she genuinely wants to help others. While she works towards her dream of becoming a nurse, she supports her friends and community. In her free time, Jakyla enjoys being with people who lift her spirits and finds happiness in simple moments. Her determination and caring nature not only prepare her for a nursing career but also make her someone who can bring healing to others. She has a bright future ahead.

Jakyla, a former foster youth, is starting a new chapter by moving into her first apartment. She has been working hard to turn the empty space into a home and wants to add a vanity dresser to her bedroom. The vanity dresser will give Jakyla a special spot to get ready each day, helping her stay organized and feel confident as she manages nursing school and living independently. It will also help her establish a routine, bringing some structure and joy to her mornings.
