Alyssa, 19 years old, CA | 25 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Alyssa is a young adult who is taking an important step as she prepares to live independently. After moving through several foster care placements, she is now getting ready to settle into her own apartment and establish a routine. She is focused and values a calm environment where she can recharge and work on her goals. Although it’s exciting, living alone for the first time is also a bit overwhelming, but she is hopeful and determined to succeed.

Right now, Alyssa’s room has very limited seating, and having a couch would give her a dedicated space to relax and unwind after long days. Whether she is reading, journaling, watching a show, or simply taking time for herself, the couch would help create a cozy and peaceful space that supports her well-being. In addition to comfort, it would help Alyssa feel more at home in her room. Creating a warm and inviting environment is important for her sense of stability and independence, and this piece would allow her to personalize her space in a way that reflects her style and needs. For Alyssa, having a space that feels safe, comfortable, and truly hers can make a big difference. This couch would not just be furniture—it would be a place for rest, reflection, and comfort.
