Kate, 13 years old, OH | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Kate is a young girl who is growing up alongside her sister in a family facing several ongoing challenges. Her mother is living with a chronic medical condition that affects the family's daily life, while her father struggles with drug addiction and has not been a consistent presence in her life. These circumstances can make it difficult for Kate to experience the stability and predictability that children need. She is learning to navigate family challenges while developing her own identity and sense of confidence. Although her family's circumstances are difficult, they do not define who she is or what she can accomplish. Like any child, Kate deserves to feel secure, supported, and included in activities that bring her happiness.

Kate wants a wolf costume kit with paw gloves, furry ears, a collar, and a fluffy tail so she can match her sister this Halloween. Dressing up like her sister would let her join in the holiday fun, use her imagination, and be someone different for a night. Having a costume of her own would help Kate feel special and included alongside other children, and it would let her enjoy the whole celebration without her family having to worry about the added expense.
