Saint J, 10 years old, NJ | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Saint is a remarkable young lady with a love for reading, dinosaurs, and science. As an honor roll student, she is passionate about learning and enjoys cooking, especially baking, inspired by her grandmother, the neighborhood "cake lady." Saint's journey has been challenging; after losing her mother, she and her siblings were taken in by their maternal grandmother to avoid foster care. Their father has been absent since they were toddlers. Following a devastating fire that destroyed their home and belongings, Saint and her siblings became homeless again, relying on their grandmother for support. To cope with her feelings of sadness and isolation, Saint has started therapy and is learning to embrace her childhood while cultivating positive thoughts.

Saint recently lost her mother and home to a fire. Saint is working hard to look toward a brighter future. As she prepares for school after a recent growth spurt, she urgently needs new uniform bottoms. This wish would provide her with more than just clothing; it would give this dedicated honor roll student the comfort and confidence she needs to succeed.
