Wish submitted by:

Samantha is a young mother of two children. She experienced the foster care system from the age of 14 until she aged out at 18. Samantha is a hardworking and dedicated mother. In her free time, she enjoys making custom piñatas and balloon garlands for her family and friends. She is trying to return to school to pursue a career in child development. Samantha's world revolves around her children, and she is committed to providing them with a happy and fulfilling childhood. Recently, she learned that her oldest daughter has been diagnosed with autism, so she has been exploring new ways to best support her daughter.

Samantha is hoping for a wagon to help care for her two young children and make daily outings more manageable. She works incredibly hard to create stability and a joyful childhood for her kids. A wagon would be especially useful for transporting her children during walks, errands, appointments, and family outings. This wagon would hold significant meaning for Samantha, particularly as she learns how to best support her oldest daughter after a recent autism diagnosis. It would provide a safe, comfortable space for her children while reducing physical strain and stress during busy days. This gift would support Samantha's parenting journey, allowing her to be fully present for her children while she continues to work toward returning to school and building a stable future for her family.
