Taylor, 18 years old, MO | 43 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Taylor is a young woman in foster care who has a young daughter. She prioritizes her daughter’s needs above her own and works diligently every day to improve her daughter's future. Taylor has set goals for both herself and her daughter. She is kind and nurturing, and despite facing challenges that many people don't encounter at her age, she is determined to make a better life for both of them.

Taylor is used to putting her daughter’s needs first and her own needs last. When her last pair of Converse finally tore, she chose not to replace them and instead bought a pair of inexpensive shoes from the supermarket. She rarely takes time to do something for herself, so replacing her favorite shoes would mean a lot to her. Receiving a new pair of Converse would bring her comfort, confidence, and a small but meaningful reminder that she deserves to be cared for, too.
