Wish submitted by:

Mary is a quiet little girl living in a foster home with her twin sister. She enjoys reading and coloring, and her favorite colors are yellow and green. Mary loves school and consistently earns good grades. Her artwork has even been displayed in the local library. Mary shares a close bond with her sister, and they support each other during this challenging time. She has a passion for animals and hopes to receive a kitten for her birthday. One of her favorite things is being tucked in bed and receiving big hugs from her foster mom.

Mary and her siblings have moved to a new home with relatives, and she is very happy there. Being with her siblings has made the transition easier for her. They will be starting a new school next month, and Mary will be in the 3rd grade. She loves school, especially science and recess. Recently, Mary went shopping for new school clothes, which was her first time picking out her own outfits. She hopes to get a pair of all-white tennis shoes for school, too!
