Rayna, 19 years old, OH | NEEDED BY 03/27

Wish submitted by:

Rayna is a resilient young woman who recently aged out of kinship care after living with her grandmother. Despite facing significant trauma and obstacles growing up, she is deeply committed to moving forward and creating a stable, independent life. After struggling in a traditional public school setting, Rayna adapted and is now thriving in online classes to finish her education. She is also focused on securing an apartment with her brother. Those who know Rayna describe her as hopeful and incredibly driven to overcome the challenges of her past.

Rayna’s birthday is coming up, and she would love the chance to celebrate with a meal at one of her favorite restaurants. It has been a difficult year filled with many life changes, and a small celebration would mean a lot to her. An Applebee's gift card would give Rayna the opportunity to celebrate her birthday, reflect on the progress she has made, and look forward to the next chapter in her life.
