Kennedy, 22 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Kennedy is a strong former foster youth who shows remarkable resilience and love. As a single mother to a lively toddler, she faces daily parenting challenges while striving to create a better future for both of them. Having experienced the foster care system, she values stability and commitment. Kennedy approaches life with determination and purpose, striking a balance between her work and goals. Her optimism shines through, even when things get tough. She is nurturing and thoughtful, making her an inspiring mother. Her positive spirit uplifts those around her.

Kennedy is requesting a Target gift card to purchase educational toys and learning materials for her 3-year-old daughter, who is beginning to show signs of a speech delay. As a devoted and proactive mother, Kennedy is committed to supporting her daughter’s development in every way she can. Access to age-appropriate, speech-focused toys, such as interactive books, flashcards, and sensory play items, would provide her daughter with enriching opportunities to build language skills through play. These tools can be incredibly helpful in encouraging verbal expression, improving comprehension, and fostering confidence during early childhood development. A Target gift card would allow Kennedy to thoughtfully choose items that best meet her daughter’s needs while staying within a manageable budget. This support would make a meaningful difference in both their lives as Kennedy continues to advocate for her child’s growth, learning, and well-being. This wish is divided into two parts. This is wish 1 of 2.
