Jasper, 11 years old, WA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jasper is a creative, kind, and resilient child who has shown remarkable understanding throughout his family’s experience with housing insecurity. During a period when his family moved between hotels while working toward stable housing, Jasper remained adaptable and positive. He consistently advocates for himself and his sister when they need support, such as winter clothing or food for the weekends, demonstrating maturity beyond his years. Jasper is a highly capable student who takes great pride in his work, particularly in writing. This year, without prompting, he authored a short story titled Forgotten and designed his own board game using school materials. Jasper understands the importance of education and is motivated by the belief that learning will open doors for his future. He has left a mark on many staff at his school who all care for his well-being and future.

Jasper is a young boy with a beautiful head of curls that he's still learning to care for. He truly deserves access to hair products that are right for his textured hair, like curl cream, a good shampoo and conditioner, a pick, and a diffuser attachment for his blow dryer. Right now, Jasper feels the need to save his curl cream for special occasions because he's running low, which isn't fair. Every day should be an opportunity for him to feel confident and proud of his curls. His hair is more than just a style; it's a part of his identity and a way for him to express himself. Sadly, he’s faced bullying in the past because of his hair, and having the right products could really help him embrace his natural beauty. Jasper deserves to feel good about himself every single day, not just on special occasions.
