Olivia, 22 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Olivia entered the foster care system at 15, facing uncertainty and challenges that forged her resilience and strength. Rather than letting hardship define her, she channels her experiences into a determination to create a stable future for herself and her baby. With a creative soul, Olivia finds joy in knitting, cooking, and crafting, using these hobbies to express love and nurture her patience. Motherhood provides her with a sense of purpose, motivating her to dream big and become a role model for her child, proving that adversity can lead to success. Her career goal is to become a registered nurse, specializing in labor and delivery or obstetrics/gynecology. Olivia's own journey into motherhood has deepened her appreciation for the care women need during such life-changing times. She aims to offer compassion and guidance to other mothers during their vulnerable moments. Olivia’s path has been challenging, shaping her into a strong, empathetic individual. Every step she takes toward her education not only brightens her future but also supports her child's well-being and the families she hopes to serve as a nurse. Her story embodies perseverance and hope, demonstrating that dreams can flourish even from hardship.

Olivia is requesting a Target gift card to buy everyday essentials for herself and her baby. As a dedicated young mother studying to become a registered nurse, she would use the gift card to purchase household items, baby supplies, and other necessities. This support would relieve some financial stress while she works towards a stable future for her family. This is wish 1 of 2.
