Wish submitted by:

Stephanie is a resilient and compassionate young woman who entered foster care at the age of 12. She has a calm, thoughtful nature and connects easily with others. Her greatest passion is cooking, which gives her joy and allows her to express care for those around her. Creative and hardworking, Stephanie also enjoys reading, drawing, and keeping a journal. Her kindness, emotional insight, and love of cooking make her a truly special individual with a bright future ahead.

Stephanie needs personal hygiene and beauty items that help her feel confident and cared for. Being able to choose these essentials herself is particularly meaningful for a young person who entered foster care during a critical stage of development, where personal choice and consistency are often limited. Access to hygiene and self-care products supports Stephanie’s self-esteem, emotional well-being, and sense of normalcy. It also allows her to practice independence and self-expression, which are important skills as she prepares for adulthood. This gift provides more than just products; it offers Stephanie dignity, confidence, and reassurance that she is worthy of care and investment.
