Each year more than 500,000 kids in the United States spend time in the foster care system due to abuse, neglect and trauma that no child should ever have to endure. But these children are just like every child - with dreams, hopes and wishes that they'd love to see come true!

One Simple Wish is hosting a Back To School Party in August for 200 kids in Kindergarten to Grade 4 from the Trenton, New Jersey area. We would love to be able to provide all of them with the necessary school supplies they will need for the year. Your donation go directly into purchasing pencils, folders, notebooks, crayons, colored pencils, pencil cases, lunch bags, and anything else a child may need to be prepared for school to start.
