Wish submitted by:

Sarah has gone through tough times, especially when her mother passed. She wished a family member would take care of her, but instead, she ended up in foster care, moving between different homes and feeling sad. During this challenging period, she discovered a passion for poetry. What began as small notes became her safe space, helping her express her feelings when she felt overlooked. Her poems are honest and full of pain, hope, and yearning. Sarah dreams of publishing a book to share her story and give a voice to others who feel lost. Through her writing, she is discovering that beauty can emerge from deep pain.

Sarah is asking for a cute sweater dress to wear to school because it would help her feel comfortable, confident, and put-together throughout her day. Having something stylish to wear would significantly impact how she presents herself in the classroom, allowing her to focus on learning instead of worrying about her outfit. A sweater dress is both practical and expressive, and receiving one would provide a meaningful boost to Sarah’s confidence as she navigates school and everyday life.
