Emily, 25 years old, OH | 13 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Emily is a hardworking and caring mother who has overcome many challenges while working toward building a brighter future for herself and her children. After facing significant transitions and housing instability throughout her childhood, then aging out of the foster care system, Emily has remained committed to building a safe, stable, and nurturing home for her family. Emily enjoys spending quality time with her family, swimming, and relaxing together watching TikTok videos and sharing laughs. She continues to move forward with strength and resilience, focusing on healing, personal growth, and creating long-term stability for her family. Emily is excited for this next chapter in her life and is committed to building a positive future for herself and her children.

Emily is excited and nervous as she settles into her very first apartment. As a young mother learning to manage a household on her own, she is working hard to create a safe and comfortable home environment for her family. This would allow Emily to purchase curtains and curtain rods for her apartment, including blackout and insulated curtains to help with privacy, sleep, and temperature control during both the summer and winter months. Since this is her first apartment, many household basics are still needed, and Emily is learning how quickly those costs add up. Having curtains throughout the apartment would help make the space feel more complete, secure, and comforting for both Emily and her children.
