Wish submitted by:

Journee is a bright and resilient child, full of potential, yet her path has not been easy. Growing up in a single-parent household, she has often faced the absence of essentials due to her mother’s limited income. This struggle has taken a toll on both her behavior and her academic performance at school. Once a bubbly and carefree child, Journey now carries a quiet sadness. Her mother, unable to work full-time because of the lack of affordable daycare for Journey’s younger siblings, has struggled to provide for the family’s needs. The weight of these circumstances has profoundly affected Journey’s disposition, altering the way she interacts with the world around her. Despite these challenges, Journey’s brightness still shines through. Her story is one of perseverance in the face of hardship, reflecting the strength of children who continue to hope and dream even when life feels overwhelming.

Journee has always been a fashion icon, with a deep love for style and self-expression. Fashion is not just her passion — it’s part of who she is. Unfortunately, due to the hardship of her mother not being able to work full-time, Journee has faced challenges and has experienced a lack in several areas of her life. She has not been able to access the basic essentials she is accustomed to having, which has made it difficult for her to fully embrace the fashion she loves. A gift card would provide Journee with the opportunity to purchase those essentials and meet some of her immediate needs. More importantly, it would allow her to continue pursuing her passion for fashion and maintain the confidence that comes from expressing herself through style. This gift card would not only help Journee with necessities but also empower her to keep shining as the fashion icon she has always been.
