Maria, 21 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Maria entered care at 17. During her time in care, she obtained her GED, received her driver’s license, and secured her own apartment. She has maintained full-time employment and even started her own flower arrangement business. Through her experiences, she has demonstrated resilience, perseverance, and a positive attitude. Maria shared that she is expecting her first child.

Maria is expecting her first child and needs a stroller. Due to her pregnancy, she is unable to work as much as she would like, and she has shared that childcare items can be quite expensive. A stroller is essential for her to care for her child and will help her manage daily tasks. Since Maria relies on walking to and from stores, having a stroller will enable her to better support her family.
