Reagan, 33 years old, ME |

Wish submitted by:

Reagan reached out to One Simple Wish for support and one thing was very clear from her story - She is a hardworking, determined, young person who is not letting her circumstances define her. In Reagan's words, "My name is Reagan, I am a married mother of one beautiful little girl, age 3. I was in foster care on and off from age 7 until I aged out of care. During that time, I was in a total of 31 placements on my road to being an adult (not including periodic failed placements back home in an effort of permanency.) I struggled my way through school, both full and part-time from semester to semester . I worked odd jobs to support myself on my way to my undergraduate degree. I graduated with a 3.0 GPA with my Bachelors of Arts degree from the University of Maine and now work as care coordinator and direct care worker for children who are in my exact situation two decades ago."

While Reagan was incredibly grateful to be working, her work had been cut back and just yesterday she was told she no longer has a position within the company. This is greatly impacting her ability to provide for herself and her family. Due to COVID-19, Reagan struggling to provide essentials for her household and would love to be able to alleviate even the slightest bit of stress.
