Taylor, 18 years old, NJ | 3 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

Taylor had always felt a void in her life, stemming from the deep pain of being abandoned by her father, while her mother remained a ghost, lingering in the shadows of her past. Despite this profound loss, she found solace in her aunt’s unwavering support and love, who had generously opened her home to Taylor during her most challenging moments. As she approached her high school graduation in 2025, a wave of excitement washed over her, brimming with hope and determination to carve out a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. Taylor envisioned a bright future where she would not only pursue her academic dreams but also embrace the independence she longed for. Her aunt, always her guiding light, continually encouraged her with the uplifting mantra, "The sky is the limit," instilling in Taylor the belief that she could achieve anything she set her mind to.

Taylor loves being away at college, even though she misses her family who live about an hour away. She visits them as often as she can. She is wishing for a soft blanket like the one she had at her resource placement, as that comforting blanket helped her sleep at night.
