A prom dress for Francis to look like the belle of the ball

Francis, 20 years old, NJ | clock-icon NEEDED BY 06/06

Wish submitted by:

Urban League of Hudson County

Francis is a young mother who has been in foster care since she was 11 years old. Despite facing many adversities, Francis remains determined to become independent.

***Thanks to a few amazingly generous supporters who are underwriting the cost of select wishes, this wish is just $25 – today and tomorrow only!*** Francis is a resilient young woman who grew up in foster care and has faced numerous challenges throughout her life. Despite facing personal issues that led her to drop out of school, she demonstrated remarkable determination and worked hard to overcome these obstacles. With great dedication, Francis returned to her studies and excelled, achieving high honors. This June, she is proudly set to receive her high school diploma. However, due to her limited income, she cannot afford a prom dress, which she dreams of having for this special occasion. Receiving support to help her attend the prom would mean the world to her—a moment she never imagined she would have the chance to experience.

"Dear One Simple Wish, I don’t have enough words to truly express how thankful I am for your kindness and generosity. Because of you, I was able to attend my prom—a moment I once believed I would only dream about. Growing up, I never imagined I'd have the chance to wear a beautiful dress and feel confident, joyful, and celebrated, even if just for one night. Your support didn’t just provide me with a dress—it gave me a memory I will carry in my heart forever. Prom was more than a dance for me; it was a reminder that I matter, that my dreams are valid, and that there are people out there who truly care. Thank you for making me feel seen and special. Thank you for giving me something I will never forget. With all my love and deepest gratitude, Francis"
