Jorden, 29 years old, CO | NEEDED BY 05/23

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, getting a new night guard would mean the world to her. It used to be a lifeline—helping to ease her headaches, relieving the stubborn tension in her jaw, and allowing her to wake up pain-free for the first time in years. It was a small but mighty part of her daily comfort and overall well-being. But recently, life dealt her a heavy blow. Her beloved dog was diagnosed with lymphoma, and the steroids meant to help her cope have turned her into a food-devouring whirlwind, resulting in the unfortunate destruction of Jorden’s night guard. Now, she wakes up every morning with the same pain that she thought she’d left behind. Replacing that night guard wouldn’t just offer her physical relief; it would also help restore a bit of normalcy and comfort during this incredibly tough time.
