Wish submitted by:

Mickie is a determined, hard-working, and resilient young woman proudly navigating the challenges of independent living in her very first apartment while in extended foster care. She is facing the steep learning curve of adulthood, household management, and financial responsibility entirely on her own.

Mickie’s focus remains firmly on her son, whose first birthday falls right after Christmas. She is feeling the pressure to make both the holiday season and this major milestone incredibly special, all while managing a tight budget and learning to stock her home with foundational necessities. She wishes for a drawing board for her son so he can continue nurturing his love of drawing,
