Janice, 30 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Janice is a devoted mother and survivor of domestic violence who made the courageous decision to leave an abusive relationship to protect herself and her young child. After enduring years of physical and emotional abuse, she reached out for support. With the help of her advocates, Janice has recently moved into a safe apartment where she and her child can finally begin healing. She is grateful for this fresh start and is working hard to create a peaceful, stable home where her child can grow up feeling safe, loved, and hopeful for the future.

After leaving an abusive relationship, Janice and her young child are finally beginning a new chapter in a safe home. As she works to rebuild their lives, even basic household needs have become difficult to afford. A washing machine would make everyday life much easier for Janice. Right now, she has to travel to a laundromat to wash clothes for herself and her young child, which is time-consuming, costly, and difficult to manage. Having a washing machine at home would give her more time with her child, reduce stress, and help her maintain a stable routine as they continue healing.
