Wish submitted by:

Mary is a strong and motivated young woman who spent time in foster care with her aunt and two brothers. Despite challenges, she’s stayed focused and recently earned a spot in the Disney College Internship Program. She’s asking for new clothes to feel confident and comfortable as she starts this exciting journey. She loves cooking, traveling, and helping others, and dreams of becoming a public health nurse. Her kindness and determination truly shine through.

***Thanks to a few amazingly generous supporters who are underwriting the cost of select wishes, this wish is just $25 – today and tomorrow only!*** Mary is gearing up for an exciting chapter in her life, landing an internship at Disney, a dream that countless people share. As she prepares to step into this role, she’s facing a personal hurdle. Due to a health condition, she has experienced weight gain, and now her wardrobe doesn’t reflect who she is or how she wants to feel. Mary wishes for a gift card to shop for the right clothes that would ease her financial worries, help rebuild her self-esteem, and give her the professional appearance she needs to make a strong impression. Granting this wish will give Mary the chance to present her best self, allowing her personality and enthusiasm to shine. It will also allow her to take on new challenges. This wish was broken into three parts, to allow for an epic shopping spree! This is wish 1 of 3.
