Sofia, 20 years old, NJ | 2 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Sofia aged out of foster care after a failed adoption. She is a beautiful and intelligent young woman whose smile can light up any room. Sofia has a strong personality, yet she possesses a gentle soul. She enjoys socializing with her friends and cherishes the time spent making lasting memories with her little sisters.

Sofia has worked incredibly hard to build her independence despite real obstacles, balancing school and work while covering her own expenses, and recent car costs have stretched an already tight budget even further. A Halloween costume would let her enjoy something fun without worrying about one more added expense. As Sofia steps into full adulthood, she isn't quite ready to let go of feeling like a kid. A Halloween costume gives her one more chance to just have fun, dress up, and enjoy something lighthearted before this next chapter begins. Granting this wish would recognize how hard she's worked and help her feel supported as she transitions out of care and into whatever comes next.
