Natalia, 27 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Natalia is a bright-spirited young woman and devoted single mother. Having grown up in foster care, Natalia draws on her life experiences to educate and advocate for others in her community. She works tirelessly to create a loving, stable home for her children. One of her children has special needs and uses a wheelchair, and Natalia is deeply committed to ensuring they have the support, access, and opportunities they deserve. Through adversity, Natalia has shown great resilience, perseverance, and strength in her life. With the right support, Natalia and her children are well-positioned to thrive and succeed in all areas of their lives.

As the new school year approaches, Natalia and her children are busy preparing after a summer filled with fun and valuable learning experiences. With four of her oldest children heading back to school, she finds herself in need of new uniforms and essential school supplies. A gift card would greatly ease the financial burden she faces, helping to ensure her children feel confident, prepared, and excited for a successful start to their academic journey. This request is split into two wishes. This is wish 2 of 2.
