Leah, 23 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Leah is a determined young mother who overcame significant challenges to create a better life for herself and her daughter. She navigated the foster care system and, at 17, found out she was pregnant and discovered the strength to break the cycle and secure stable housing through foster care resources. Leah is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in psychology and aims to earn a master’s in social work. Her goal is to help foster and justice-involved youth find stability and hope, using her own experiences as a source of healing and guidance for others.

Leah recently lost her TV after six years of use, and it’s been a big change for her and her daughter. Movie nights in the living room were one of their favorite ways to bond and spend time together. A new TV would bring that joy back into their home, giving them the chance to laugh, relax, and enjoy each other’s company again. It’s a small comfort that would make a big difference in their daily life and quality time together.
