Nicola, 27 years old, NY | 31 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Nicola is a wonderful young lady who spent many years in foster care. She is a true go-getter. Her goal is to continue to improve her life by going to school and through work. This exceptional young woman has high ambitions and the tenacity to reach her goals. Now that she's on her own, she must continue striving for excellence.

Nicola is a hard-working young woman who spent much of her childhood as a foster youth in NYC. She's currently balancing school and work, but with limited funds, covering extras beyond the basics isn't easy. Nicola struggles with insomnia and frequent nightmares, and the lack of real rest is taking a toll on her daily life, making it harder to stay focused in school and get through her work shifts. A Hatch alarm clock would help by easing her into sleep with calming sounds and light, and waking her gently instead of with a jarring alarm, something that could genuinely improve the quality of rest she's getting and help her show up more fully for both school and work.
