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 has recently welcomed another child into her life. Already a mother to one, she's prepared for the exciting yet challenging months ahead. She understands the importance of keeping shaded from the sun's harmful rays and would love this beach tent to keep her family from getting burned when they spend hours outside.
