Wish submitted by:

Fab is an amazing young woman who has faced many challenges in her life. Growing up in foster care, she learned to be strong and determined. Her early years were tough, as she dealt with abuse from a young age. Despite all this, she never let her spirit be broken. At 19, Fab met her father for the first time, even though he was in prison. This meeting sparked her wish to connect with him, showing her ability to forgive and move forward. Now, she is part of an organization that offers her support and understanding. Through this group, she has made friends who feel like family and has made great strides in managing her depression. Fab loves expressing herself, especially through fashion and makeup, which helps her feel confident about her looks. She finds joy in being herself and has learned to appreciate her inner and outer beauty.

Fab is a resilient young woman who has aged out of the foster care system. Throughout her formative years, she endured significant pain and abuse, leaving her uncertain about whom to trust. Fab struggled with her self-esteem and identity, always feeling different. For years, she battled feelings of shame regarding her attraction to other females, which made it difficult for her to find someone to confide in, as fear of rejection loomed large. However, everything changed when she met her girlfriend, who loves and accepts her for who she is. This Pride Month, Fab is excited to celebrate with her friends—those she met while in foster care who have become her family in times of need. Being with them fills her heart with joy and belonging. To make this group outing even more special, Fab has a heartfelt request: she would love a pair of espadrille Tory Burch flats to wear during their celebration. This gesture would not only help her feel confident and beautiful but would also symbolize her journey toward self-acceptance and pride in her identity among those she treasures most.
