Wish submitted by:

Marisa is a devoted mother of three who has faced numerous challenges but remains determined to build a stable and loving future for her family. After experiencing periods of homelessness, her teens were placed in kinship care while she worked to regain stability in her life. Despite the obstacles she encountered, Marisa was excited to reunite her family under one roof. She recently achieved an incredible milestone by graduating from nursing school! Marisa finds joy in simple pleasures, such as listening to music, styling hair, applying makeup, and relaxing by watching her favorite television shows. Above all, she values spending time with her family. Whether visiting Kings Island, going to the local pool, or simply being together at home, those moments are the most meaningful to her. She continues to work hard every day to provide stability, love, and opportunity for her family.

Marisa is excited to put together an outfit she picked out herself, something she chose piece by piece and can feel genuinely confident wearing for her birthday. She fell in love with the Hoodrich Scarlet cropped full-zip hoodie from JD Sports, drawn to its bold color and style the moment she saw it. As the first piece of the matching set she chose, this hoodie represents more than a birthday gift; it's a small but meaningful way for Marisa to express her taste and feel like herself as she celebrates another year. And unlike a lot of birthday gifts, this one is something she'll keep reaching for long after the candles are blown out.
