Wish submitted by:

Serenity has a history of experiencing child abuse and neglect. Despite the challenges she faced growing up, she has been strong for her younger siblings. Despite the toxic environment she has lived in, Serenity managed to focus on her educational goals, which will help her become independent. Her dream is to become a teacher, as she has been inspired by many supportive educators throughout her life. Music is an important part of Serenity's life, helping her clear her head during stressful times and serving as a means of self-expression. She turns to music to escape from the difficult situations she goes through, and it has become a significant part of her identity for as long as she can remember.

Serenity is a high school senior filled with dreams, especially her long-held desire to attend prom with her friends. However, this year has presented significant challenges for her family, including eviction and homelessness, making it difficult for them to afford a prom dress. Serenity has been looking forward to this moment since she was a little girl, and the thought of not being able to experience it is heartbreaking for her. Despite these hardships, Serenity remains an inspiration to her siblings, a dedicated volunteer at her community organization, and an outstanding student. Granting her the wish of a special dress would not only allow her to attend prom but also provide her with the magical night she has always imagined. It would reaffirm her resilience and highlight the importance of pursuing dreams during difficult times.
