Ashley, 11 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Ashley, one of four siblings, has faced the challenges of being unhoused and living in a shelter with her mother. Despite these difficulties, she remains very active in school, eagerly participating in various activities. Ashley is involved in both the chorus and the school play, showcasing her talents and love for the arts. Among her favorite subjects are math and art, reflecting her diverse interests. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, drawing, and spending time with her friends, finding joy and creativity in all that she does.

Wintertime is Ashley's favorite season. Recently, she and her family transitioned from a shelter setting to a home of their own, but she finds herself lacking essential clothing items for the colder weather. A gift card to Burlington Coat Factory would enable her to shop for some new jeans, leggings, shirts, and sweaters, helping her stay warm and feel confident during this chilly time of year. This wish was broken into two parts, to allow for a great shopping experience. This is wish 1 of 2.
