Alani, 27 years old, GA | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Alani spent five years in the foster care system, and worked unbelievably hard to get to where she is today. Now, she prides herself on being a hardworking mother of two children. She uses her past experiences as motivation to be as determined and hardworking as possible. She makes sure that every day she gets up, she makes a difference in her kids' lives. Foster families taught her important skills that she had never learned in her own household, which has also helped guide her in life. Whenever she has free time from being a mom or working, she likes to read and watch interesting shows.

Alani is doing her best to support her two kids in a tough economy. Recently, she landed her first apartment, but she's been sleeping on an air mattress for what feels like forever. She's really hoping for a proper mattress, not just to help with her back pain, but to create a cozy and inviting home for her children.
