Kendall, 13 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Kendall is a remarkable young girl who has faced significant challenges in her life. Due to her mother’s struggles with mental health, her grandmother took on the responsibility of raising her to prevent her from entering the foster care system. Unfortunately, Kendall's mother may never regain her role due to serious circumstances that affected both Kendall and her sibling. Kendall herself has developed challenges requiring frequent therapy and suffering from night terrors. Despite it all, she is a shy, sweet girl with a creative spirit. She enjoys drawing, cooking, playing video games, and watching movies. Kendall expresses herself beautifully and loves giving hugs and creating heartfelt cards for others.

This birthday, Kendall would be incredibly grateful for a day out to celebrate at Olive Garden with her grandmother and a close friend. As she navigates this transitional period in her life, living with her grandmother to avoid foster care, everything has happened so quickly, and she is doing her best to adjust. A day out to enjoy a meal together would provide precious bonding time and create lasting memories during this important phase in her life. Celebrating her birthday in such a meaningful way would not only lift Kendall’s spirits but also strengthen her connection with her grandmother. Your kindness in granting this wish would truly make her birthday special and help her embrace the joy of the day.
