Mila, 23 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Mila and her brother were raised by their grandmother until Mila turned 16, when their grandmother's dementia led to heartbreaking separations. Mila and her brother were placed in group homes. Growing up quickly, Mila faced a tough childhood marked by her mother’s addiction and abuse, leading to their removal from home. Now, despite having only a third-grade education and never finishing high school, Mila is determined to earn her GED and pursue a nursing career for stability. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, walking in parks, making jewelry, writing songs, photography, and singing. With support, she dreams of becoming an actress or model.

Mila will benefit greatly from a Hollywood vanity mirror for her bedroom, a space where she can apply her makeup and feel beautiful, especially on days when she may feel less than her best. Throughout her life, Mila has faced significant challenges that forced her to grow up too quickly. The stress of her situation has taken a toll on her well-being, and she needs a reminder of her strength and beauty. This vanity mirror will not only enhance her daily routine but also serve as a symbol of self-love and empowerment. It will provide her with a special space to embrace her uniqueness, reflect on her journey, and celebrate her resilience. By gifting Mila this mirror, we can show her that she is not alone and that she is truly surrounded by hope and support as she continues to heal
