Wish submitted by:

April is the youngest of three children and has a bright, caring personality. She loves helping her mom in the kitchen, pretending to cook meals, and spending time playing with her siblings. One of her favorite activities is caring for her baby dolls, and she enjoys using her imagination to create fun adventures. At school, April especially enjoys math and science and loves discovering how things work. When she's not learning or playing indoors, she enjoys spending time outside exploring and staying active. April's family has worked hard to overcome significant housing instability, including a period of living in a hotel while her mother worked toward securing permanent housing. Through it all, April has remained resilient and continues to find joy in learning, family time, and the simple moments of childhood. She looks forward to the opportunities each new school year brings and continues to thrive with the love and support of her family.

April is looking forward to the new school year and is hoping for support to pick out essential everyday basics and undergarments. Having comfortable, properly fitting items is a simple necessity that makes a huge difference in how a young person feels walking into the classroom. The opportunity to select her own sizes and styles will give April independence, boost her self-esteem, and help her start the academic year feeling comfortable, prepared, and focused on her school work,
