Jaymi, 31 years old | NEEDED BY 07/01

Wish submitted by:

Jaymi is a former foster turned loving, compassionate parent. Jaymi has often taken on big responsibilities and tried tasks when no one else could or would. Even in her younger years, she took on the task of raising her teen sibling through legal guardianship - a task she did not quite know would be in her cards but took on without question. She has gone on to be a foster and adoptive parent of other teens. Jaymi is a proud graduate with a master's degree. After a long time, Jaymi has finally found joy and healing in her life by surrounding herself with a new community after "coming out."

As a former foster youth, and especially after coming out last year, Jaymi hasn't always had a supportive family around her. In fact, she's given all she can to provide a supportive and loving family to many others interacting with foster care. Jaymi's partner's family welcomed her - and her kids - with open hearts. Now, their family is planning on going on a cruise together. Jaymi is so, so excited to finally have a family to call her own and that she feels welcomed in. She would love to go with the family. Even better, she has never been on a cruise. Jaymi would love help with covering the costs of going on this adventure with her newfound family.
