Autumn, 52 years old

Wish submitted by:

Autumn remembers a lot from her time in foster care. Unfortunately, she went through some of the most terrible and unthinkable traumas that anyone could experience, and despite those experiences, she has persevered to become an incredible role model, sister, friend and mother. In her early childhood, she spend a lot of time locked in a room, without food or care that any human needs. When she was placed in foster care, she remembers moving a lot. Looking back, she knows she was not an easy child. She rebelled, broke things and was labeled unadoptable. When she aged out she worked and had my own apartment. She finished high school while working and paying her own bills.Without the support of anyone. She reconnected with her sister after foster care and starting to parent her. Shortly after she adopted her sister's two children and being a parent helped Autumn see her life's purpose.

Autumn is preparing to honor her sister's memory on her upcoming anniversary. It's a difficult time, but Autumn has found a beautiful way to pay tribute. There's a treatment center in their community that supports expectant and parenting mothers, and Autumn wants to send some small decorative items to show her love and support. It's a thoughtful gesture that will surely bring comfort to those in need.
