Wish submitted by:

Matilde is a vibrant and determined teenager with an intellectual disability who refuses to let challenges slow her down. Facing significant trauma in her early childhood, Matilde has been in foster care for several years. She is now in a stable and loving home where she is able to foster her love for spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and dancing to music. Matilde eagerly jumps at any opportunity to participate in the Special Olympics, where she thrives on teamwork and encouragement.

Matilde is a stylish and fun-loving teen excited to head back to school in her own unique way. With a bold personality and a great sense of fashion, she’s looking forward to choosing some fun and fashionable clothes that reflect her vibrant style. To top off her back-to-school preparations, she’s wishing for an Old Navy gift card to help her pick out the perfect outfits. This wish was broken into two parts to allow for an amazing back-to-school shopping experience! This is wish 1 of 2.
