Maria, 27 years old, NJ | 18 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Maria is a former foster youth who aged out of care. She has experienced a lot of adversity in her young life and has been remarkably resilient and cheerful throughout difficult times. She is now raising three children while pursuing her dreams. This devoted student is working tirelessly, not just to provide, but to build a future filled with hope and stability. She is determined to give her children the loving home and opportunities she never had.

Maria has recently moved her family to a safer, larger home where her children can grow and thrive. While balancing school, caring for her kids, and working toward becoming a nail technician and opening her own salon, she continues to show strength and determination. A mattress for her room would bring her real relief and give her a comfortable, supportive place to rest at night. Having a good place to sleep would help her recharge so she can keep up with her busy daily responsibilities. It would also support her overall well-being as she works toward her goals. With better rest, she can stay focused and energized while caring for her children and building a more stable future for her family.
