Corrine, 8 years old, IN | 12 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/27

Wish submitted by:

In her young life, Corrine witnessed repeated domestic violence between her mother and her mother's boyfriend, fueled by addiction. Because of this, she and her half-brother were removed from their mother's care and placed in foster care over a year ago. Corrine later faced another painful loss when her half-brother was reunited with his father, separating the two siblings. Despite everything, Corrine has remained in the same foster home since her removal, one that has given her a safe, loving place to land. She loves riding her bike and has a natural artistic streak, always looking for ways to create. That creativity led her to discover a real gift for sewing, something that began when her favorite stuffed animal got a hole and needed mending. Now old enough for 4-H, Corrine and her foster family are exploring the opportunity together.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Corrine with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
