Rayna is a determined individual who aged out of kinship care after living with her grandmother. She is working hard to build a positive future for herself. Rayna has faced several challenges, including difficult experiences and trauma while growing up. Despite these obstacles, she continues to show resilience and a strong desire to move forward. She is currently taking online classes after struggling in a traditional public school setting and hopes to complete her education. Rayna is focused on gaining independence and is working on securing an apartment with her brother. Those who know Rayna describe her as someone who continues to push forward despite the challenges she has faced. She remains hopeful about the future and is committed to finishing school and creating a stable life for herself.

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.
