Lilly, 15 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Lilly has faced significant challenges throughout her childhood, including abuse, neglect, and instability. She recently moved into her aunt’s home, offering her an opportunity for greater safety and stability after years of uncertainty. Despite these hardships, Lilly remains dedicated to her education, completing school online while working toward her dream of becoming a nurse. She is also caring and protective of her brother, always showing compassion for others. With the support of her aunt, Lilly is working toward a fresh start and the happy, secure future she deserves.

Lilly is wishing for a 63-count container of Tide laundry detergent pods to help ensure she has clean, fresh clothes for her daily activities. Her aunt has made significant sacrifices to provide Lilly with a safe and loving home, but affording basic necessities can be difficult. Without laundry detergent, Lilly’s clothes were being washed with dish soap, and she was bullied by peers over how she smelled when she attended a local homeschool group. Having a reliable supply of detergent would help ease the financial strain on her aunt while allowing Lilly to feel clean, comfortable, and confident as she spends time with others and makes new friends.
