Wish submitted by:

Rayna is a determined individual who aged out of kinship care after living with her grandmother. She is working hard to build a positive future for herself. Rayna has faced several challenges, including difficult experiences and trauma while growing up. Despite these obstacles, she continues to show resilience and a strong desire to move forward. She is currently taking online classes after struggling in a traditional public school setting and hopes to complete her education. Rayna is focused on gaining independence and is working on securing an apartment with her brother. Those who know Rayna describe her as someone who continues to push forward despite the challenges she has faced. She remains hopeful about the future and is committed to finishing school and creating a stable life for herself.

Rayna is excited to start a new job and take an important step toward independence. Even though she didn’t get the position she originally wanted, she is staying positive and looking forward to this opportunity. Rayna is wishing for an insulated lunch bag and a reusable water bottle set to help her get ready for work each day. Since she will need to walk to work some days, staying hydrated is very important. The lunch bag will also help her bring meals and snacks from home, saving money and helping her stay healthy.
