Deanna, 22 years old, NY | 36 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Deanna is a great mother who aged out of care is looking forward to returning to school to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education. She had to take time away from education to attend to a family crisis and later to care for her newborn son. She loves working with kids and hopes to make an impact on the next generation in her community. Deanna spends her spare time ensuring her son has a safe, happy environment in which to thrive.

Deanna has finally landed a job she’s excited about after months of looking. She’ll be working as a hybrid paraprofessional, which means she’ll get to interact with young people and help organize programs. Some of her work will be done from home, but right now she doesn’t have a comfy chair to sit in while she works. Getting a good chair would really help Deanna adjust to her new job smoothly.
