Mila, 23 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 04/17

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 has a great sense of style and really wants a pair of Dr. Martens boots for her birthday. She’s planning to celebrate with her younger brother, who is autistic and lives in a group home, as well as her best friend and boyfriend. She met her boyfriend while they were both in the group home, and they’ve built a strong bond because of their similar experiences. The boots would not only complete her outfits but also remind her of the special memories they create together. Mila deserves a gift that shows off her personality and love for fashion, and these boots would definitely make her day brighter.
