Valerie, 23 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 05/30

Wish submitted by:

Valerie is on an inspiring journey to become a doctor, dedicating herself to her studies with passion. At just 16, she and her sister found a true sense of belonging after moving in with their grandparents following their time in foster care. This new environment provided them with the stability and love they had longed for. When she’s not buried in her textbooks, Valerie loves to cook, often whipping up delicious meals that she enjoys sharing with family and friends. She also likes to host game nights filled with laughter and friendly competition. On sunny days, you can find her riding her bike around the neighborhood, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying the little moments of joy that come her way.

***Thanks to a few amazingly generous supporters who are underwriting the cost of select wishes, this wish is just $25 – today and tomorrow only!*** Valerie is asking for a new sweatshirt for her birthday this year—something cozy, cute, and perfect for everyday wear. She wants a sweatshirt that is soft on the inside, fits just right, and keeps her comfortable whether she is relaxing at home, running errands, or hanging out with friends. An ideal option would be a fun color or a simple design that reflects her style but still coordinates with everything. Valerie loves clothes that feel as good as they look, and a new sweatshirt would be the perfect birthday gift to keep her warm and stylish all year long.
