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 is filled with excitement as she prepares for a wonderful day at Thrillz indoor amusement park with her siblings and friends this Easter. This long-awaited outing offers her a much-needed opportunity to find joy and escape as she navigates the sadness of losing her mother and adjusts to her new home after the recent house fire. This Easter holds profound significance for Saint, as it evokes cherished memories of the traditions she shared with her mom, who always took her on thrilling adventures during this special time. By honoring those memories and celebrating alongside her loved ones, she hopes to keep her mother’s spirit alive while also creating new experiences.
