Wish submitted by:

Hailey is an outgoing, personable, and motivated young woman currently living in her own apartment as part of a transitional living program while preparing for adulthood. She has been in foster care since she was 14 and has really grown since beginning her journey towards independent living. Hailey enjoys all things leopard print, loves her cat named Big Mac, and actively posts on her growing social media accounts on TikTok and Snapchat. She has had an interest in sewing and garment-making since her high school years and has created many outfits and dresses in the past. Plus, Hailey is an active member of her church community and is dedicated to her work in the medical field; she enjoys keeping herself busy. She is financially independent and excels in nearly everything she sets her mind to accomplish!

Hailey has been exploring hobbies as a way to become more independent and to enjoy her own company. One interest she wants to revisit is sewing and garment making, which she found fulfilling in the past. Unfortunately, she lost her sewing machine when she entered foster care, making it challenging to pursue this passion. Despite this setback, Hailey remains determined to find a way to reconnect with her love for sewing. She hopes that by doing so, she can express herself creatively and build her confidence.
