Kia, 27 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Kia is a strong and dedicated mother who is working hard to rebuild her life and create a stable future for her children. She is the loving mother of three boys and a girl. Kia is currently preparing to transition into her own apartment after making the difficult decision to leave a long-term relationship that was no longer healthy for her or her children. Despite the challenges she has faced, Kia remains determined to stand on her own and provide a safe and loving home for her family. She is also hoping to regain custody of her stepson so that all of the children she loves can be together. Kia enjoys spending time with her children, watching movies, being outdoors, and cooking meals for her family. She dreams of returning to school online so she can continue building a career helping others, and she has a strong interest in pursuing a career in nursing. Kia is a resilient woman who continues to push forward for the sake of her children. She is working hard to create a brighter future and a stable home where her family can thrive.

Kia is a devoted mother navigating major family changes while supporting her young children through the transition. Adjusting to changes between homes can be confusing and emotional for children, especially at a young age when they may not fully understand what is happening. This wish is for a small collection of toddler-friendly books that explain divorce, co-parenting, and having two homes in a simple, reassuring, and age-appropriate way. Books like Two Homes and The Family Book can help normalize their experiences and remind them that they are loved, safe, and supported. These books will help reduce confusion, encourage healthy emotional expression, and support positive conversations during this time of adjustment.
