Deanna, 23 years old, NY | NEEDED BY 09/18

Wish submitted by:

Deanna is a great mother who aged out of care and is looking forward to returning to school to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education. She had to take time away from education to attend to a family crisis and later to care for her newborn son. She loves working with kids and hopes to make an impact on the next generation in her community. Deanna spends her spare time ensuring her son has a safe, happy environment in which to thrive.

Deanna will be welcoming her second child this fall, and life is about to get a lot busier managing two kids at once. A dual stroller would make a huge difference day-to-day, but right now that kind of purchase is out of reach. Deanna isn't working because of her pregnancy, and her partner only works part-time, so money is tight even for essentials. This particular stroller is especially practical because the rear seat can convert into a bench or a standing platform as the kids grow, so it won't be outgrown right away. It's the kind of gift that would genuinely support Deanna through the newborn stage and for years after, giving her one dependable way to get both kids out the door without added stress.
