Zyasha, 18 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Zyasha is a thoughtful young woman who is currently navigating many changes in her life. She has experienced time in foster care and group homes and has faced periods of separation from her family. Recently, she has been reunited with her mother after spending time living away from her and her brother. Zyasha’s father is currently working toward recovery from addiction, which has also been an emotional journey for their family. Despite these challenges, Zyasha continues to remain hopeful about her future and is working toward creating a better life for herself. She is determined to step into motherhood with strength and responsibility. One of her biggest goals is to continue working toward finishing school so she can build a stable future for herself and her son. In her free time, Zyasha enjoys listening to TikTok videos and spending time with friends. With encouragement and support, she continues to move forward while preparing for this new chapter in her life.

Zyasha is a resilient young woman preparing for one of the most important journeys of her life—becoming a mother. Throughout her childhood, she experienced instability and spent time living in several group homes, which limited opportunities to learn many of the everyday life skills that most young adults take for granted. One skill she is eager to develop is cooking. As she prepares to welcome her baby, Zyasha wants to learn how to prepare healthy, home-cooked meals and build confidence in the kitchen. A HelloFresh gift card would provide her with step-by-step recipes, pre-portioned ingredients, and hands-on experience preparing nutritious meals while learning valuable cooking techniques. This wish is about more than food—it is about independence, confidence, and creating a strong foundation for her growing family.
