Nicole, 23 years old

Wish submitted by:

Nicole is a young single mother of two boys whom she loves dearly. She was in the foster care system from the age of two until she aged out at eighteen. Since becoming a mother, Nicole has been determined to make a life for herself and provide for her children. However, she has faced challenges, including housing insecurity. Tragically, she recently lost the father of her sons in an accident, which has left her to navigate life on her own. Despite these struggles, Nicole is committed to advocating for herself and her boys.

***Thanks to a few amazingly generous supporters who are underwriting the cost of select wishes, this wish is just $25 – today and tomorrow only!*** Nicole is a loving and energetic single mother who pours her heart into raising her two boys. After spending most of her childhood in foster care and aging out at eighteen, she’s worked hard to create stability for her family, an effort she’s proud to see reflected in her recent accomplishment of getting her own apartment. Despite the heartbreaking loss of her children’s father, Nicole continues to push forward with strength and resilience. Her wish is for a Nintendo Switch, which would be a fun way for her and her boys to bond, laugh, and create joyful memories together. They’re a competitive bunch who love playing games (especially anything Mario!) and would cherish this opportunity to share playful moments as a family.
