Wish submitted by:

Sara is an incredible young girl, smart and resilient. Currently, she and her older brother are staying with a family friend while their father and stepmother are being detained. Tragically, Sara's biological mother passed away from complications related to COVID-19 and infections when Sara was just a baby, leaving a lingering void in her life. Life has been challenging for her guardians, coming from Venezuela, as they strive to find stable work and housing to provide for both Sara and her brother. Sara and her brother have felt a deep sadness, missing their family. Like any girl her age, Sara enjoys the simple pleasures of life: playing with her dolls, watching YouTube, dancing, and indulging in arts and crafts, as well as enjoying video games. Her favorite color, purple, reflects her vibrant spirit. Despite the challenges she faces, Sara embodies hope and strength, reminding us all of the power of resilience and the importance of community support

On her birthday, a trip to Target would allow Sara to indulge in the simple pleasures she loves, such as picking out a new toy or something special to brighten her day. This experience would give her the chance to enjoy herself without the burdens of her current circumstances, allowing her to embrace the joy of being a child on her birthday. It is important for Sara to feel celebrated and cherished, surrounded by love and positivity on this special occasion.
