Desire, 16 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 04/10

Wish submitted by:

Desire is a resilient young woman who continues to thrive despite the loss of her mother. She attends Leap Academy and is determined to complete high school, even in the face of challenges. Passionate about cosmetology, she dreams of opening her own shop one day. Her smile and laughter attract many people, and her charisma mends hearts, spreads love, and inspires others. She never allows her circumstances to hinder her pursuit of her goals.

Desire is in need of a dress for a gala hosted by her trauma group. Unfortunately, her caregiver cannot afford to buy her a dress. This wish would enable Desire to attend the gala and recognize her personal growth in relation to her trauma. By receiving this dress, Desire will have the opportunity to celebrate her accomplishments, which she often struggles to acknowledge. This wish will also encourage her to step out of her comfort zone, as she lacks confidence in herself.
