Hope, 20 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Hope has always turned to art for comfort. From the age of five until she aged out of foster care, drawing helped her express her feelings and make sense of the world around her. Whenever life felt uncertain, her sketchbook gave her a sense of stability and peace. For Hope, art was more than a hobby—it was a way to cope, heal, and keep moving forward. Hope is working hard to build a stable and successful future. Surrounded by supportive people who encourage her growth and well-being, she remains focused on her goals while overcoming the challenges that many young adults with foster care experience. Hope is thoughtful, caring, and resilient. She also enjoys expressing herself through fashion and personal style, using creativity as another way to show her personality and confidence as she continues her journey forward.

Hope is asking for a pair of dress shoes to wear during her apprenticeship, something polished and comfortable that helps her feel confident as she steps into this next chapter of her life. She’s especially hoping for a pair of cute white Kate Spade loafers that are professional, versatile, and true to her personal style. Having shoes that look put-together but still feel like her would mean a lot as she shows up each day, building her skills and working toward her dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
