Kyra, 20 years old, PA | 42 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kyra is an artistic and strong young woman who enjoys drawing, reading, writing, and playing the electric guitar. She was born prematurely with drugs in her system, and although child services got involved, she remained with her parents until her grandparents eventually gained custody. Growing up, she experienced instability, poverty, and the impact of her parents’ addiction. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she endured neglect and unsafe living conditions that led to serious struggles, including an eating disorder. She was placed in emergency housing, then separated from her brother and sent to live with different relatives, where her needs were often overlooked. From there, she cycled through a shelter and a group home, staying quiet and resilient until she graduated high school. Now she carries the lessons of resilience, survival, and perseverance with her while working to build a better future.

Kyra is hoping for a skincare set to help her build a consistent routine and feel more comfortable in her own skin. She's been struggling with some skin issues lately and would love the chance to try products that actually work for her. Having a full set would let her explore what works without the added cost of buying everything separately. This gift would give Kyra a meaningful way to prioritize self-care and feel more confident.
