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 is going into her last year of high school. She is excited about starting soon and even more thrilled to be graduating at the end of the school year. Desiree needs a new pair of school shoes. She would like to go to Foot Locker and pick the perfect pair of shoes.
