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 a brave girl who is feeling sad because she lost her mom. She goes to therapy to help her feel better, but it’s still really tough for her. Saint wants to make happy memories with her brothers and sisters to help them all feel a little less sad. They have a special chance to spend a fun day together at an indoor water park. This day would let them play, laugh, and enjoy time together, helping them support each other as they learn to heal and feel better.
