Wish submitted by:

Saint is a remarkable young lady with a love for reading, dinosaurs, and science. As an honor roll student, she is passionate about learning and enjoys cooking, especially baking, inspired by her grandmother, the neighborhood "cake lady." Saint's journey has been challenging; after losing her mother, she and her siblings were taken in by their maternal grandmother to avoid foster care. Their father has been absent since they were toddlers. Following a devastating fire that destroyed their home and belongings, Saint and her siblings became homeless again, relying on their grandmother for support. To cope with her feelings of sadness and isolation, Saint has started therapy and is learning to embrace her childhood while cultivating positive thoughts.

Saint has faced many challenges in her life, especially after losing her mother and being taken in by her grandmother to avoid foster care. With their father absent since she was little, the support from her grandmother became essential. After a fire destroyed their home, Saint and her siblings once again found themselves homeless, relying on their grandmother for shelter. Despite these hardships, Saint has shown strength by starting therapy to cope with her sadness and isolation. Providing her with new undergarments, especially as winter approaches, would not only ensure her comfort and health but also remind her that she is loved and supported. A gift card for this purpose would truly brighten her spirits this Christmas.
