Haley, 16 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 07/18

Wish submitted by:

Haley is living with her older brother and finally starting to feel settled and supported. Despite everything she has gone through, her face lights up when she talks about animals, especially dogs. Being around them makes her feel calm and safe. For Haley, animals are more than just pets—they help her heal. They provide comfort and understanding when she needs it most. She dreams of working at an animal shelter and hopes to become a veterinarian one day. Haley wants to care for animals the same way they have cared for her. For her, it's not just a job; it's a personal mission. Animals have helped her through tough times, and she wants to give that same love and support back to both animals and people. Her dream is all about healing and making the world a better place.

For her birthday this year, Haley is hoping for a beautiful new dress to wear on her special day. She wants something that makes her feel confident, joyful, and seen—a dress that reflects her bright spirit and growing sense of self. Whether it's soft pastels or something with a little sparkle, Haley imagines twirling around in it, feeling celebrated and proud. After everything she has been through, having a dress that truly feels like hers would be more than just clothing; it would serve as a reminder that she deserves to feel special and loved.
