Naya, 24 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

Naya is a courageous and creative young woman who is working towards a more secure and affirming future. After experiencing involvement with the system and periods of homelessness, she is now taking bold steps to achieve stability, health, and purpose. As a transgender woman and aspiring cosmetologist, Naya dreams of creating beauty and safety for herself and others. She is currently focused on completing trade school while managing a chronic health condition and recovering from experiences of discrimination. Naya aims to rebuild not just her housing, but also trust, community, and self-confidence. She has finally found a place that recognizes her full identity and worth.

Naya's birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and she would love to have a new dress to wear for the occasion. Having an outfit in which she feels beautiful and confident would bring her joy and allow her to express herself. This wish would provide Naya with the opportunity to celebrate herself and recognize the progress she has made as she works towards building a brighter future.
