Arianna R., 21 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Arianna is bravely navigating a major transition after aging out of state care. Having faced significant challenges, she is committed to self-improvement, currently focusing on earning her GED. Her future became even brighter and more challenging with the arrival of her first child, a baby boy. Arianna's determination to build a stable, loving home for her son while working toward her educational goals is a testament to her profound resilience and hope for a secure future. She is building a new foundation, brick by dedicated brick, for her family.

Arianna is a young mother who recently gave birth and has just moved into her own apartment after being approved for Section 8 housing. This new home marks a powerful turning point for her and her baby, offering stability after a long period of transition. As she begins this new chapter, Arianna does not yet have a bed of her own. Having a bed would provide her with a safe and restful place to recover physically, care for her newborn, and regain strength during the demanding early months of motherhood. Quality rest is essential for her well-being, especially as she balances healing, nighttime feedings, and the responsibilities of caring for an infant. This wish would support Arianna’s health, dignity, and ability to be fully present for her child by helping her create a stable and restful home environment during this critical time in her life.
