Reyna, 24 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Reyna is a wonderful mother of three beautiful children and is expecting her fourth. Reyna strives to be the best mother she can be for her children. She is outspoken and knows how to advocate for herself and those she holds most dear. Two of her children have special needs, so it prevents her from working outside the home and thus finds herself struggling financially as a single parent. Reyna also grew up in the foster care system and overcame many obstacles and managed to get an apartment. She can now say she and her children have a place to call home. She looks forward to achieving financial stability and hopes to one day be able to work so she can better support those who depend on her.

Reyna prioritizes her children's happiness and wants them to feel loved. However, she often faces financial constraints that force her to choose between essentials and toys. She hopes her son can experience riding a bike through their neighborhood with his friends. Teaching him how to ride would not only strengthen their bond but also make her feel like a good mom.
