About Iya's personality

In a nutshell Iya has a big personality in a little body; bursting with charm, humor and sass! She shows kindness with empathy; offers a toy to her crying 5 month old brother.. and connection by bonding strongly with caregivers, siblings and pets. Iya has Resilience; Her willpower bigger than any tantrum she’s ever had!

What are Iya's favorite activities?

Iya is Whimsical and Sweet- Her favorite activity is dancing like no one’s watching—except everyone is watching because she insists on it! As soon as she hears music, she spins, claps, and wiggles her little heart out. Whether it’s a nursery rhyme or a phone ringtone, it’s her cue to shine. We’ve nicknamed her ‘DJ Giggles’ because every dance party ends in contagious laughter.

How would $25,000 impact your family?

It would change our Quality of Life- and the biggest impact would be reduced stress. Raising a toddler and infant on one income and as a single mother is hard. Having even a temporary financial cushion gives room to breathe, rest, or make decisions based on my family’s well-being—not just survival. Covering child care, health care, or having an option to stay home for emergencies. This will also possibly help Iya get out of the shelter! Iya deserves this win and a place to call home!
