Bella, 17 years old, PA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 06/05

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’s birthday is coming up soon, and she is a young mom who doesn’t often get time for herself or to spend time with friends her own age. This year, she would really love to celebrate with a few friends she has met over the years and enjoy a special girls’ day out. She is hoping for a nice outing at a restaurant by the water where they can relax, laugh, and enjoy time together. This opportunity has been encouraged by a caring donor who has also been a positive mentor in her life and continues to inspire her to keep moving forward. Bella is also excited about wearing a pretty dress for the occasion that makes her feel confident and special. She is really looking forward to the chance to feel celebrated, supported, and happy on her birthday.
