Dawn, 18 years old, MI | 5 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

MI DHS - Allegan & Barry Counties

Dawn is a force to be reckoned with. Dawn entered care at 11 years old after losing her mom and sibling to a house fire. Through the adversity, Dawn has accelerated in life. At 15, she found her forever family and was adopted. Over the years, Dawn became active in sports to find a place to let out her anger in healthy ways. Dawn became active in football, wrestling, track and field, and taekwondo. Most recently, Dawn was invited to the state championship for wrestling. Dawn takes her education and natural ability to be a leader outside of sports seriously. She is actively engaged in culinary vocational school while being a standard high school student.

Dawn is a first-year student at a college in Michigan. She has been an athlete throughout high school and was dedicated enough to earn a spot on her college's team. Dawn is passionate about her sport and committed to her team. Every Sunday, her team travels to a training academy specific to her sport, which is a two-hour round trip for Dawn, who provides her own transportation. She is requesting a gas card to help offset the fuel costs associated with being a reliable team player. This is wish 2 of 2.
