Josephine, 23 years old, NY | 22 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Josephine is a single mother living in New York City. She is currently studying Criminal Justice and hopes to become a lawyer one day so she can help people who have faced challenges similar to her own. As a teenager, Josephine experienced foster care, which shaped her into the strong, resilient, and compassionate person she is today. She is creative, intelligent, and determined, working hard to build a better future for herself and her son, Carmelo. Josephine is deeply committed to being the best mother possible while balancing the demands of school and parenthood. Although she lacks much family support, she continues to push forward with a positive attitude and a strong sense of purpose. Her perseverance, caring nature, and dedication to helping others inspire those around her.

Josephine is seeking help purchasing clothing for her young son, who has quickly outgrown many of his current outfits. Having properly fitting clothing is essential for ensuring her son is comfortable, safe, and appropriately dressed for daily activities. Additionally, this support would help alleviate some of the financial strain Josephine experiences while balancing the responsibilities of raising her son and pursuing her education. By receiving assistance with clothing, Josephine would be better able to focus on providing stability for her family and working toward her long-term goals. This is wish 1 of 2.
