Wish submitted by:

Paris is a resilient and determined young woman who has navigated significant life challenges while remaining focused on her goals and future. Despite experiencing emotional hardships and frequent transitions between households, she continues to persevere with strength and optimism. She enjoys participating in extracurricular activities, expressing herself through the arts, and staying actively involved in her community. As she prepares for the next stage of her education, Paris is excited to pursue her dreams and create a bright future through hard work, personal growth, and dedication.

Paris has worked very hard to reach this important milestone in her life. As the youngest of five children in a single-parent household, she has balanced school, activities, and personal challenges while staying focused on her goals. Paris was recently accepted into Ohio Wesleyan University and received a scholarship. She will start in the fall to study Performing Arts, which is something she is very proud of. In high school, she stayed active in ROTC, choir, cheerleading, and basketball while keeping up strong grades. Paris has never had the chance to eat at Black Rock Steakhouse and would love to celebrate her graduation with a special dinner there. A gift card would let her enjoy a meaningful meal with her family to celebrate her hard work and achievements. This experience would help her celebrate her success and remind her how proud others are of her strength and determination.
