Wish submitted by:

Amanda is a single mother to two lovely little ones. She is a hardworking, self-motivated, and compassionate person. Since her own time in foster care, she has been driven to give back to her community through advocacy. She is a proud foster care alum and believes in empowering others. Amanda is one of the most resilient people one could ever know. She has overcome homelessness, poverty, and the foster care system. She is now a college student who is transferring to a four-year-college to obtain her bachelor's degree. One day, Amanda hopes to build a nonprofit organization to continue giving back to her community.

Amanda cannot believe just how quickly time goes by and children grow. She is realizing just how short the next two decades are bound to feel. She knows that these moments are fleeting, but the memories can be lifelong. She wants to give her children the very best and ensure that they have all they could ever imagine having. Amanda really wants to help her son learn how to write before he begins to take on school. She would love a magic practice copybook to help her son learn how to write his letters and numbers.
