Clarissa, 30 years old

Wish submitted by:

Clarissa is a dedicated mother from Brooklyn, NY. She has aged out of foster care and has been working on gaining consistent employment, and trying to gain and learn new skills toward building an independent life. Clarissa lives alone with her 6 year old daughter and is a dedicated parent. She is a fearless advocate for her daughter and for the needs of people in public housing and continues to show resilience in everything she does.

Clarissa and her daughter have enjoyed spending time together during this quarantine. They are following the stay at home orders, and have not been leaving the house. They love the feeling of clean clothes and have been washing their clothes by hand since they live in public housing and don't have anywhere to do their laundry. Washing clothes by hand can be daunting and overwhelming. Clarissa would love a portable washing machine and a drying rack to help make this household chore easier while she continues being safe! It will be a great opportunity for her and her daughter to do laundry together and make life a little easier.
