Izzy, 24 years old, MN

Wish submitted by:

Izzy was fostered by their grandparents from infancy into young adulthood. They have worked diligently to learn how to meet their own needs and manage a budget. Izzy is a strong advocate for foster care in Minnesota, testifying at the state capitol and sharing their experiences through writing. In addition to this advocacy work, Izzy is busy attending college classes and spending time with their fiancé.

Izzy is requesting a cross-stitch kit that will bring joy and provide a calming, creative outlet during stressful times. Crafting helps Izzy manage stress and offers a positive and grounding focus. Granting this wish would give Izzy an affordable and meaningful way to relax, express creativity, and cope with daily challenges.
