Hope, 17 years old, OK | 45 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 is hoping for an Adidas sweatshirt. A new sweatshirt would help her feel comfortable, confident, and good about herself each day. Having something warm and familiar to wear would support her as she heads to school and participates in daily activities, helping her feel encouraged, included, and ready for the year ahead.
