Jorden, 29 years old, CO

Wish submitted by:

Jorden spent time in foster care and aged out of the system, an experience that has shaped her strength, independence, and determination to build a better future. Jorden is a phenomenal person who now lives with her grandmother, whom she also helps care for. She is a loving mother to a sweet young boy and is deeply committed to providing for her family. Jorden enjoys helping others and does everything she can to make sure the people around her have what they need. She describes herself as intelligent, outgoing, and funny, and she always tries to see the positive in every situation. Jorden dreams of one day owning her own home so she can provide a stable and wonderful life for her family. She continues to focus on her future and works hard toward achieving her goals.

For Jorden, this wish means everything. Her night guard once made a world of difference—easing her headaches, relieving the constant jaw tension, and letting her wake up without pain for the first time in years. It became a small but powerful part of her daily comfort and well-being. But recently, life threw her a heartbreaking curve. Her beloved dog was diagnosed with lymphoma, and the steroids prescribed to help her cope have caused an insatiable appetite—leading to the accidental destruction of Jorden’s night guard. Now, each morning greets her with the same pain she thought she had left behind. Being able to replace that night guard would bring not just physical relief, but also a sense of restoration during an incredibly difficult time.
