Wish submitted by:

Kiley is a remarkable young woman who has earned a college scholarship to play flag football. She is warm and kind, always involved in community service, and truly loves the game. Kiley has a big heart, especially when it comes to helping wild animals. Her mother, who uses a wheelchair after a leg amputation, faces health challenges that make it hard for her to spend quality time with Kiley. Despite financial difficulties, Kiley's mom does her best to support Kiley and her younger sibling. Kiley has also faced tough times, including abuse from her father, who is no longer in their lives for safety reasons. She struggles with dyslexia, PTSD, and anxiety, but she actively works on her mental health through therapy and group sessions. Kiley channels her energy into football and other activities, which help her feel less isolated and combat feelings of sadness. Her story is one of resilience and determination, showing how hope and perseverance can shine through even the toughest times.

As Kiley's birthday approaches, she wishes for an Essentials sweatshirt to wear occasionally around campus. This stylish and comfortable sweatshirt will keep her cozy on her hectic school days and serve as a reminder of her vibrant spirit. A trendy sweatshirt would make it perfect for chilly lecture halls or lounging in the dorm. For Kiley, receiving this sweatshirt on her special birthday would be a delightful surprise.
