Tayla, 21 years old, OR | 5 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Tayla spent her youth moving through foster homes and juvenile detention, labeled as a "high-risk youth." This constant labeling made her believe she was less deserving of trust and freedom compared to others. Running away became her way of taking control, a survival tactic from her past experiences with homelessness. Now, Tayla is using her experiences to advocate for runaway youth. She knows the struggles young people face when they feel ignored and unsupported. Her goal is to create spaces where their voices are heard. Through her advocacy, she fights for policies that support their needs instead of punishing them for their trauma.

Tayla is longing for a cozy pair of sleep pants to help her unwind and feel relaxed at bedtime. She dreams of something soft and comfortable that she can slip into at the end of the day, transforming her evening routine into a soothing experience. A new pair of sleep pants would bring her a simple yet special comfort that she can look forward to every night while enjoying her time at home.
