Desiree, 20 years old, TX | 43 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Desiree spent several years in foster care, navigating a complex emotional landscape after her sister faced adoption. That experience, along with the conflicting stories her mother gave them about their situation, weighed heavily on her growing up. Despite these challenges, Desiree grew into a smart, loving, and affectionate young woman, filled with hope for the future. Today, Desiree is an adult building a life of her own. She is a mother to one child and is expecting another, and she continues to carry the same determination and intelligence that carried her through her early years. She dreams of becoming a teacher one day, inspired by her own experiences. Her creativity and strength in math and science remain a source of pride as she works to build a better future for her growing family.

Desiree is doing everything she can to provide a safe and loving home for her family. She is the proud mother of an 8-month-old baby and is expecting another child, making it especially important that her apartment stays cool and comfortable during the hottest months of the year. A portable air conditioner will help her create a healthier environment where she and her little ones can rest, sleep, and stay comfortable. Relief from the heat would make a significant difference in their daily lives, especially as she navigates pregnancy while caring for an infant.
