Fab, 23 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 05/29

Wish submitted by:

Fab grew up in foster care and faced abuse from a young age, but she never let it break her spirit. At 19, she met her father for the first time, choosing forgiveness over resentment. She's since found a supportive community, made friends who feel like family, and made real strides managing her depression, expressing herself through fashion and makeup along the way.

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.
