Saint J, 10 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Saint is a remarkable young lady with a love for reading, dinosaurs, and science. As an honor roll student, she is passionate about learning and enjoys cooking, especially baking, inspired by her grandmother, the neighborhood "cake lady." Saint's journey has been challenging; after losing her mother, she and her siblings were taken in by their maternal grandmother to avoid foster care. Their father has been absent since they were toddlers. Following a devastating fire that destroyed their home and belongings, Saint and her siblings became homeless again, relying on their grandmother for support. To cope with her feelings of sadness and isolation, Saint has started therapy and is learning to embrace her childhood while cultivating positive thoughts.

Saint and her sisters are going through a really tough time after losing their home in a fire. This Valentine’s Day is particularly hard for them because it’s the first one without their mom, who always made the day special. To show our love and support, we want to plan a fun day out for them. The goal is to bring some joy and laughter back into their lives and remind them that they are surrounded by people who care. This day will give them a chance to bond, heal, and remember the happy moments they shared with their mom. This will help Saint and her sisters find happiness again and make new memories that honor the love they still carry in their hearts.
