Hope, 17 years old, OK | 48 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Hope is a very creative individual. She enjoys writing poetry about hope, resilience, and dreams of publishing a book one day. Hope carries a notebook with her everywhere she goes, filled with her thoughts and ideas. Having been in foster care for years and currently living in a group home, she often feels sad. However, she uses her poetry as a way to express her emotions and keep pushing through.

Hope would love a cardigan sweater. A simple, comfortable piece like this would help her feel cozy and confident throughout the day. Having something she can easily wear and rely on would not only meet a basic need but also help Hope feel encouraged, cared for, and valued.
