Wish submitted by:

Autumn has been in DCFS since she was 8 years old. She has faced real adversity and come out of it caring deeply about her two children. She is resilient and hopeful and completely focused on being there for her kids. She keeps showing up.

Autumn is currently facing the challenges of postpartum life while balancing her responsibilities as a mother, and she is dealing with postpartum depression. Recognizing the importance of professional support during this difficult time, she understands that accessing therapy would provide her with a safe space to process her emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and prioritize her mental and emotional well-being. Financial assistance for therapy costs would empower Autumn to focus on her health as she begins her journey toward healing and stability. This support would not only enhance her personal well-being but also improve her ability to care for her family, as she continually strives to move forward with resilience and hope.
