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 loves styling her hair and is hoping for an automatic curling iron for the holiday. It would give her a simple, quick, and safe way to style her hair, helping her feel confident and put together on busy days. With everything she does for her family, having a tool that makes her routine easier and helps her feel beautiful is a deserved act of self-care. This gift would bring a little extra joy and confidence into Leah’s daily life.
