Wish submitted by:

Naya is a courageous and creative young woman who is working towards a more secure and affirming future. After experiencing involvement with the system and periods of homelessness, she is now taking bold steps to achieve stability, health, and purpose. As a transgender woman and aspiring cosmetologist, Naya dreams of creating beauty and safety for herself and others. She is currently focused on completing trade school while managing a chronic health condition and recovering from experiences of discrimination. Naya aims to rebuild not just her housing, but also trust, community, and self-confidence. She has finally found a place that recognizes her full identity and worth.

Naya is creating a wardrobe that reflects her true self, and a good pair of jeans is a foundational piece. As a young woman who embraces life each day, she understands the importance of presentation. For her, having clothes that fit well and feel right is essential—not a luxury. It's about feeling prepared to step out the door and face whatever comes next. She would love to get a pair of flare jeans to add to her wardrobe.
