Sidisse, 18 years old, OR | 32 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Sidisse is majoring in criminology. She graduated from high school one year early while in foster care. Although her years in care were some of the hardest in her life, she wouldn't trade them for anything because of how much she grew as a person. In her free time, Sidisse enjoys reading, making crafts, and riding horses. Being around animals really helps her feel grounded.

Sidisse met Michele while they were both in the foster care system, and over time, their bond grew into something much deeper than friendship. When Michele had Jovani, Sidisse became part of his life as well, and loving him came as naturally as loving family. Sidisse is incredibly grateful that the last time she submitted a wish, she was able to travel and spend time with baby Jovani. That visit meant more to her than she can fully put into words, and she hopes to make another trip soon so she can continue being a consistent presence in his life as he grows. Jovani is now old enough to recognize the people around him, and it is deeply important to Sidisse that he knows she is someone who shows up for him. Even small, steady moments together mean everything to her. Right now, school has been especially stressful, and spending time with her chosen family is something Sidisse knows would support her mental and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, the cost of travel and hotel stays is not something she can afford on her own. She is requesting assistance with the hotel so she can make the trip possible and spend meaningful, quality time with them. This has been split up so that Sidisse can stay a few nights while visiting her friends. This is wish 2 of 2.
