Octavia, 32 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Octavia is a dedicated single mother raising three beautiful children: twin girls and a child with autism. Life has not been easy for her. After caring for her aging parents until their passing, she found herself without stable housing and had to move into a one-bedroom apartment with her sister and children. Octavia is also a survivor of domestic violence and is doing everything she can to create a safe and nurturing environment for her children. Since she is the full-time caregiver for her child with autism, she is currently unable to work. However, she has recently achieved a new goal by moving into a place of her own.

Octavia is a single mom with three young kids, one of whom has autism. After going through tough times, including domestic violence and losing her parents, she worked hard to create a safe home for her family. While she’s grateful to have a place to live, she can’t work because she’s busy taking care of her child. This makes it hard to afford basic things they need. What Octavia really wishes for is a comfy sofa where her kids can relax, read, and spend time together. Having a sofa would turn their house into a warm and inviting home. Plus, it would give Octavia a spot to sit and enjoy some music, something she can’t do right now.
