NM CYFD - Dona Ana County

Jaylisa has experienced multiple placements and treatment centers while growing up in foster care. Despite these challenges, she is focused on caring for herself and her son. She has made significant progress in setting healthy boundaries to protect her family and is actively working toward earning her high school equivalency.

Jaylisa recently relocated after experiencing a difficult domestic violence incident. As a single parent expecting her second child, she is working tirelessly to replace all the furniture in her home to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for her growing family. One of her main wishes is to have a sectional couch, which would allow her to sit with her children and create new, positive memories together. This new addition would not only enhance their living space but also provide a cozy spot for family bonding.
