Tayla, 21 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Tayla spent her youth moving through foster homes and juvenile detention, labeled as a "high-risk youth." This constant labeling made her believe she was less deserving of trust and freedom compared to others. Running away became her way of taking control, a survival tactic from her past experiences with homelessness. Now, Tayla is using her experiences to advocate for runaway youth. She knows the struggles young people face when they feel ignored and unsupported. Her goal is to create spaces where their voices are heard. Through her advocacy, she fights for policies that support their needs instead of punishing them for their trauma.

Tayla wishes for a pair of pink pants that she can wear every day, something comfortable enough for daily wear but still looks cute and put-together. She wants pants that are easy to style with her usual outfits, suitable for running errands or hanging out, and that help her feel confident without sacrificing comfort. Pink is her preferred color, and having a go-to pair of pants that are both cozy and stylish would be something she could reach for all the time.
