Wish submitted by:

Stormi spent some time in a group home and has made lots of progress over the years. She also spent several years helping her dad raise her siblings while their mom was in jail. She loves to express herself through art, including dance. Stormi is resilient, kind, and thoughtful.

Stormi is working to rebuild her relationship with her dad after a recent heart-to-heart that led to a big argument. She is very emotional, grappling with the absence of her mom, who is incarcerated. Without a maternal figure in her life, Stormi feels the weight of needing to be the caretaker for her younger siblings. For Valentine’s Day, Stormi dreams of taking her siblings and her dad out for a special day at Dave & Buster’s. She hopes to create a joyful outing filled with laughter and cherished memories. Although their dad isn’t in a position to celebrate due to recently losing his job, he is actively seeking assistance so he can once again provide for his children. This family is navigating a dark time, but their shared goal is to create a space filled with love and happiness.
