Wish submitted by:

Zyasha is a thoughtful young woman who is currently navigating many changes in her life. She has experienced time in foster care and group homes and has faced periods of separation from her family. Recently, she has been reunited with her mother after spending time living away from her and her brother. Zyasha’s father is currently working toward recovery from addiction, which has also been an emotional journey for their family. Despite these challenges, Zyasha continues to remain hopeful about her future and is working toward creating a better life for herself. She is determined to step into motherhood with strength and responsibility. One of her biggest goals is to continue working toward finishing school so she can build a stable future for herself and her son. In her free time, Zyasha enjoys listening to TikTok videos and spending time with friends. With encouragement and support, she continues to move forward while preparing for this new chapter in her life.

Zyasha is a young mother-to-be who is preparing to welcome her baby boy while continuing to work toward finishing school. After experiencing time in foster care and group homes, she has recently been reunited with her mother and is working hard to create a stable future for herself and her child. Because Zyasha has moved frequently over the past few years, she has had limited opportunities to build a strong support system. In an effort to prepare for her baby’s arrival, she has taken initiative by reaching out to her community and posting on social media. Through those efforts, she has already been able to receive some of the larger baby items. Zyasha would love to host a small baby shower so friends and family can come together to celebrate her baby and help support her during this new chapter in her life. An Oriental Trading gift card would allow her to purchase simple decorations, favors, and baby shower supplies to create a welcoming celebration.
