Naya, 24 years old, CA

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 rounding out a basic wardrobe with versatile pieces she can mix and match. A relaxed boyfriend jean gives her a different silhouette from her other pairs, so she's not locked into one look. She's been intentional about choosing styles that work for her and building a closet that gives her real options. Naya isn't asking for a shopping spree. She's asking for the basics that let her get dressed, feel like herself, and focus on what actually matters: school, her goals, and her future.
