Ashley, 8 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 10/23

Wish submitted by:

Ashley is a joyful and creative child whose warm spirit brightens every room. Before living with her grandmother, she faced many challenges but remained strong and kind. With her grandmother, Ashley has found a nurturing home where she can heal and grow. She loves making bracelets and baking, often sharing her creations with family and friends. Swimming brings her happiness and a sense of freedom, while reading allows her to explore new worlds.

This year, Ashley wants to try something new for Halloween: dressing up as something scary so she can match her friends and cousins. She has been doing very well in school and in her behavior, and she is looking forward to what could be her most amazing Halloween yet with the people closest to her. Her grandmother is stretching her budget month after month and can't afford the costume Ashley wants, though she wishes she could. A scary costume of her own would let Ashley join the group, share the spooky fun with her cousins and friends, and feel proud of her hard work. This wish means just as much to her grandmother, who would love to see Ashley light up on Halloween night.
