Wish submitted by:

Ivy is rebuilding her future after spending much of her childhood in foster care. After experiencing homelessness, she recently found stability through community and is now focused on creating a strong foundation for adulthood. She earned her GED and is pursuing college with plans to study Allied Health. Ivy is working to strengthen her professional skills, communication, and confidence while preparing for a healthcare career where she can help others. She knows firsthand how important stability and support can be, and she's determined to create a future that looks very different from her past. With safe housing now in place, Ivy is able to focus on school, employment, and building the life skills that will help her become financially independent and successful. She approaches every opportunity with determination and is ready to make the most of this new chapter.

Ivy picked these green cowboy boots out herself. She chose the style she loves, sent the link, and is already envisioning outfits she can wear with these boots. For a young adult transitioning out of foster care and into college and her own life, having the opportunity to choose something simply because she loves it can be meaningful. These boots are a small but important piece of ownership and self-expression. Ivy is building a life where she gets to have a say in the things that belong to her, and these are boots she will be proud to wear for years to come.
