Rayna, 19 years old, OH | 4 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/02

Wish submitted by:

Rayna is a resilient young woman who recently aged out of kinship care after living with her grandmother. Despite facing significant trauma and obstacles growing up, she is deeply committed to moving forward and creating a stable, independent life. After struggling in a traditional public school setting, Rayna adapted and is now thriving in online classes to finish her education. She is also focused on securing an apartment with her brother. Those who know Rayna describe her as hopeful and incredibly driven to overcome the challenges of her past.

Rayna is adapting to significant changes, including her grandmother's move to assisted living, which will impact her transportation to work. Seeking greater independence, she wishes to learn to drive but needs to complete driver education first, a cost that exceeds her current budget as she also saves for her own apartment. Rayna is willing to contribute some of her earnings towards driving school and seeks assistance for the remaining cost to help her achieve reliable transportation and continued employment during this transition.
