Tina, 31 years old

Wish submitted by:

Tina is an amazing young woman who inspires everyone she meets. She has a deep commitment to helping youth build resiliency and become successful adults. She previously aged out of the foster care system, and has accomplished many things thus far in life. With a focus on her education, she went on to graduate with her bachelor's and master's degrees and currently works with youth in foster care at a small non-profit. Before going to graduate school, Tina served on the state youth board for 6 years in a variety of roles. She has helped change state level policy that benefits youth in care. For the last several years, she has also been a part of the NYTD Review Teams with JBS International.

Every little girl dreams about this wonderful day, and Tina is no exception. She can not wait to walk down the aisle to marry her wonderful fiance. Unfortunately, having grown up in foster care and aging out, Tina has little to no family support in helping to pay for her wedding. Having the wedding of her dreams is the only wish Tina can think of that would mean the absolute world to her. Marrying her best friend, in their church is by far the most important piece to Tina.
