Bella, 17 years old, PA | NEEDED BY 05/01

Wish submitted by:

Bella is an amazing young woman who has faced a lot of difficulties after becoming pregnant while still in high school. But she didn't let her situation hold her back. With many late nights of studying, she is set to graduate this year with a good GPA, showing just how strong and dedicated she is. She hasn’t had much support from her family since her mother struggled with homelessness and addiction, leaving Bella to rely on herself. Before she got pregnant, she lived in a group home, but she bravely decided to move in with her child's father. Unfortunately, he kicked her out, and now Bella is living in a shelter meant for mothers and their kids. Taking care of her newborn and dealing with everything has been really hard, but Bella is determined to rise above her past. She’s part of a therapy group for young women who have gone through tough times, where she finds support and connection with others who understand her struggles. In her spare time, Bella loves to read, do arts and crafts, and spend time with her close friends. Her positivity shines through, and her story is an inspiring reminder of resilience and hope even in tough times.

Bella is an incredibly strong young woman who had a rough start in life, but still managed to persevere. She has been through things that most of her peers have never even thought of. Not too long ago, Bella had a baby but still managed to keep up with her studies. Though things became difficult, her child is the reason she pushed so hard to get her education. Bella may regret a lot of the choices that she has made in life, but she does not regret having her baby. This May, Bella will be celebrating her first Mother’s Day. Bella would like to go out to her favorite restaurant and celebrate the fact that she was blessed to bring such a beautiful little life into the world.
