Wish submitted by:

Jade is a lively young lady who loves being outside. She enjoys exploring nature and playing sports, especially soccer with her travel team. In her free time, she has fun playing with her young nieces, nephews, and little sister, filling their adventures with joy and laughter. A big animal lover, Jade loves taking her dog for walks and enjoys every moment spent outdoors. Even while facing challenges in foster care, she stays cheerful and is always there to help others when needed.

Jade has always dreamed of having a trampoline, a wish that sparkles just out of reach after all the moves she and her brother have faced. Each transition takes a little piece of her, leaving her with a longing for something more stable—something that feels like home. Now, in this new house, the idea of a trampoline shifts from a distant wish to a bright symbol of hope and joy. She often pictures herself and her brother bouncing together, their laughter filling the air and creating cherished moments that bring them closer. Yet, the memories of the past still linger, reminding her of times when they felt like strangers in their own lives, unsure and out of place. With every new address and unfamiliar face, that dream feels like a soft whisper caught amidst the uncertainty. In this stable environment, where guardianship is on the horizon, the security she's been seeking finally feels real. Still, the weight of her past is there, resting gently on her heart. While her dream of a trampoline seems more attainable now, it also carries a sense of longing—a reminder of the challenges they've faced and the joy that has sometimes felt just out of reach. This trampoline would be perfect for her backyard.
