Ryan loves his Petsie!
“He has slept with it every night and says it makes him feel safe like when Karma was with him every night before foster care. Thank you for bringing peace and happiness to Ryan.”
Our Story
In 2006, Danielle and Joe Gletow became foster parents, and it changed their lives forever.
Watching as an 18-month-old boy nervously entered their home wearing a onesie and an oversized coat after being removed abruptly from his abusive home, Danielle and Joe knew they had to do more.
One Simple Wish launched in 2008 as an online giving platform designed to raise awareness and empower everyone to restore hope and happiness to kids and young adults impacted by foster care and crisis throughout the United States.
At onesimplewish.org, we believe that sharing stories, not statistics, is the most effective way to connect communities and change lives.
