Gemma, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Gemma is an independent, goal-focused young woman who has shown incredible determination. She has always loved working with children, and after spending over three years at a local daycare, she recently achieved her dream of opening her own in-home daycare business. Looking ahead, Gemma plans to attend community college to continue growing her career in early childhood education. In her free time, she enjoys going to the beach, walking her dog, and spending time with friends.

Gemma is thriving as a small business owner, running her own in-home daycare and recently reaching full capacity, a real reflection of how hard she's worked to build trust with families. As her daycare has grown, so have the needs of the children in her care, and she'd love a Sam's Club gift card to help stock a greater variety of snacks in bulk. Having nutritious, kid-friendly options on hand each day is an important part of creating a welcoming daycare environment. This would help bridge the gap while Gemma continues connecting with longer-term community resources to keep her supply consistent.
