Rayna, 19 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Rayna is a resilient young woman who recently aged out of kinship care after living with her grandmother. Despite facing significant trauma and obstacles growing up, she is deeply committed to moving forward and creating a stable, independent life. After struggling in a traditional public school setting, Rayna adapted and is now thriving in online classes to finish her education. She is also focused on securing an apartment with her brother. Those who know Rayna describe her as hopeful and incredibly driven to overcome the challenges of her past.

Rayna is excited to begin her first job and is looking forward to this important step toward independence. Recently, she learned that her orientation and workplace dress code require business casual attire. As someone who is accustomed to wearing jeans, leggings, and sweatshirts, she does not currently have many clothing options that meet these requirements. This would allow Rayna to purchase a few affordable business casual outfits, helping her feel confident and prepared as she begins her new position. Rayna has worked hard to reach this milestone and is eager to make a positive first impression. This is wish 1 of 2.
