Amore, 28 years old

Wish submitted by:

Amore entered foster care with her son. When they were finally placed together, she was overjoyed to spend time with him every day. Since then, Amore has had two other children. She strives to be the best mother she can be to all her children. However, life continues to present obstacles. Despite these challenges, she remains positive and serves as a great role model for her kids.

Amore wants a candle-making kit to celebrate her birthday at home with her two friends, as she loves crafting meaningful items. As an aged-out foster youth, she faces challenges while managing her anxiety and raising her troubled son. This celebration would allow her to bond with her friends in a safe environment, expressing their creativity by making unique candles together. The experience would provide Amore with a joyful distraction and a sense of accomplishment. Each candle symbolized their friendship and resilience, reminding her of the support she has received during tough times. For her, this birthday is about creating lasting memories and finding peace amid life’s challenges.
