Wish submitted by:

1999 Collective

Esther is a mother of two who aged out of the foster care system. Since then, she has worked hard to build stability and independence for herself and her children. Her journey has not been easy, but through every setback, Esther continues to show determination, courage, and love for her family. After experiencing a period of homelessness, Esther recently secured housing, a major step toward creating a safe and consistent home for her children. She takes great pride in her progress and remains focused on building a better future.

Esther's wish is for a kids ' combination bookshelf and toy storage unit. Now that she and her children are housed, she’s working to make their new home organized and welcoming. This item is essential because it will provide her children with a designated space for their books, toys, and stuffed animals, helping them learn responsibility while keeping their room neat and comfortable. Having a special place for their belongings also helps her kids feel more settled and secure as they adjust to their new environment.
