Wish submitted by:

Olive grew up in the foster care system and spent time living in a group home. She is an incredible young adult who is dedicated to developing her life skills. Olive is focused on working and saving money. Over the past several years, she has gained valuable experience in the food service industry and has learned a great deal from her jobs. She aspires to return to school and is committed to being a lifelong learner. Olive has a passion for fashion, hair, and nails, which she uses as a means of self-expression. She enjoys spending time with her siblings, friends, and mentor. One of her favorite activities is going out to eat and trying new foods in the area.

Olive is a new mom who grew up in the foster care system, and without a family safety net to fall back on, she is determined to build a safe, stable home for her baby all on her own. Since giving birth, she has had her baby sleeping in a bassinet near her bed, but her little one is quickly outgrowing it and is now ready for a crib. As a hardworking mom doing everything she can to provide for her child, Olive simply doesn't have the funds to purchase one herself. A crib would give her baby a safe, comfortable place to sleep through the night, and would mean the world to Olive as she works to create the stable, loving home she never had growing up. Please consider helping make this important milestone possible for Olive and her baby.
