Desiree, 20 years old, TX

Wish submitted by:

Desiree spent several years in foster care, navigating a complex emotional landscape after her sister faced adoption. That experience, along with the conflicting stories her mother gave them about their situation, weighed heavily on her growing up. Despite these challenges, Desiree grew into a smart, loving, and affectionate young woman, filled with hope for the future. Today, Desiree is an adult building a life of her own. She is a mother to one child and is expecting another, and she continues to carry the same determination and intelligence that carried her through her early years. She dreams of becoming a teacher one day, inspired by her own experiences. Her creativity and strength in math and science remain a source of pride as she works to build a better future for her growing family.

Desiree has been doing very well in school this year. She has not always been a student who excelled in her classes, but this year, she has been maintaining an A/B average and staying focused on being on the honor roll every quarter! She has become confident in her studies and would like to be rewarded with a laptop.
