Nicole, 18 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Nicole is a bright and driven young lady who refuses to let anything hold her back from achieving her dreams of going to college. She has a passion for math and science and hopes to become a nurse in the future. Recently, Nicole was placed back into foster care after being home for more than a year. Despite this setback, she continues to be a kind and compassionate person, volunteering her time at the local children's hospital. Nicole has a heart of gold and a desire to help others.

Nicole enjoys spending time with her two younger siblings whenever she can. She wants to spend a day at Busch Gardens riding roller coasters and the Ferris wheel. Nicole has managed to spend time with her siblings each month. When their visits are regular and frequent, they create opportunities for meaningful connections. These visits provide many of the same benefits as living together, such as reduced trauma and loss, increased feelings of belonging, and a shared history.
