Elizabeth, 39 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Elizabeth is a devoted mother who is courageously rebuilding her life after making the difficult decision to leave a long-term controlling and unhealthy relationship. Having spent part of her own childhood in foster care, she understands firsthand the importance of creating a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for her children. With the support of her mother, Elizabeth has begun seeking mental health services for both herself and her children as they adjust to significant life changes. Leaving their home and familiar surroundings has been emotionally challenging for the family, but Elizabeth remains committed to healing, building healthy relationships, and providing her children with the stability they deserve. Elizabeth's resilience, determination, and willingness to seek help demonstrate her commitment to breaking unhealthy cycles and creating a brighter future for her family. Through ongoing support and mental health services, she continues working toward emotional wellness, family stability, and long-term independence.

Elizabeth has always enjoyed taking her children to trunk-or-treat events, but this year they are excited to experience the tradition from the other side by volunteering at their school and passing out candy to other children. A trunk-or-treat kit with decorations and candy would allow the family to decorate their vehicle, participate together, and help make the event special for others. It would also give Elizabeth and her children a chance to create new Halloween memories while giving back to their school community.
