Perla, 23 years old, NY | 6 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Perla began her college journey in foster care and has since successfully aged out of the system. Warm and dedicated to helping others, she originally planned to study nursing before discovering a natural talent for accounting while working with her tutor. This realization inspired her to pivot toward a business degree. Balancing her studies alongside raising her child, Perla is a completely devoted mother, determined to build a successful career and a stable future for her family.

Perla currently doesn't have a comfortable couch in her living room, so even simple, everyday moments like sitting down together to watch a show or cuddle up with her son aren't easy to come by. That gap has felt even bigger lately, since Perla has also been navigating some health challenges of her own. When trying to recover, having somewhere real to rest matters- a place where your body can actually relax instead of making do with a chair or the floor. A comfortable couch would give Perla and her son a space to heal, unwind, and simply be present with each other at the end of the day.
