Jillian, 25 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jillian is a former foster youth who has demonstrated so much grit and resilience in the face of hardship. She is a single mother to a sweet girl. Since aging out of foster care, Jillian has struggled with homelessness and has done everything in her power to protect her daughter from that struggle. Now, Jillian lives in a transitional housing program and is working towards finding more permanent housing for herself and her daughter. Jillian has deep faith and an amazing work ethic and has continued her education, even while working full-time. She is just a few units away from her Associate's degree. She has a long-term goal of becoming a therapist and specializing in working with people who struggle with addiction.

Jillian's daughter is growing so fast! She is six years old and loves to window shop with her mom. Money is tight because Jillian is working hard to save money for a deposit on an apartment so they can move out of the housing program. It would be so special for Jillian and her daughter to hit up Target together to get clothes, pajamas, and shoes that fit her and that she will love to wear!
