A trip to the hair salon for 16 y/o Angel who deserves a special birthday treat

Posted Aug 9, 2016

Angel is a fashionista and she loves to dress up, get her hair done, and do manicures and pedicures. For her birthday, she has requested a special hairstyle that is a bit more expensive than her usual routine. We would like to make her feel special and beautiful for her birthday, because she truly is a special and beautiful person!

Angel is 23 years old and lives in NJ

Angel is a vivacious 16-year-old girl who loves fashion and beauty. Although she struggles with mental illness and developmental disabilities, she has been incredibly resilient throughout her 4 years in placement. She was separated from all her siblings due to her special needs, and although it is hard sometimes, she has a positive outlook on life.

The Wish Story

"Dear Angel, Hopefully it's not too late for you to make your trip to the hair salon - we hope you had a great birthday and if you use this money for something else nice, that's great too. We admire your courage and your love for life and wish the best of luck for you in the future. We know you will grow up to be someone who changes the world. Happy Holidays, Matt (Dad) and Astrid (Daughter)"

Cindi sent an update on the wish for Angel.

" Dear Matt and Astrid, Thank you for granting Angel's wish for a trip to the hair through One Simple Wish. It was certainly not too late and the generous gift was much appreciated by both Angel and her Court Appointed Special Advocate, Cara! Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA’s) are assigned to advocate for the best interest of children in court after they’ve been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. It is such a comfort for the kids we serve to receive something special, like the wish you’ve granted, while they are in foster care. Thanks to your generosity, Angel's day has been made a little bit brighter! Warmest Regards, "
