Wish submitted by:

Lee Lee is a strong and brave young woman who escaped from her abuser, who was also her guardian. Even though she comes from a big family of ten siblings who are no longer together, she has learned to take care of herself. She developed skills in cooking and hairstyling and has a strong desire to keep learning. Lee Lee dreams of joining Job Corps while also taking on side jobs, all while staying positive despite her tough situation. In her free time, she enjoys watching YouTube videos, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. Her main goal is to find a job that helps her support and uplift her community, showing her caring nature and determination.

Lee Lee is an extraordinary and resilient young woman who recently had the wonderful opportunity to reconnect with two of her biological siblings. This September, she is planning a long-overdue dinner and outing to sit down with them, share their stories, and rebuild their bond. Lee Lee is wishing for assistance to cover the cost of this reunion meal so they can focus entirely on enjoying their time together. Receiving this support will help create a welcoming space for family connection, joy, and healing.
