K'Star, 6 years old

Wish submitted by:

Foster kids are kids, period. And they just want to have the same freedom and joy as their peers. Each year thousands of kids enter foster care in our state, separated from their friends, families, neighborhoods and most of what is familiar to them. It can be difficult, but One Simple Wish strives to make the transition a little easier so kids can enjoy childhood and make happy memories!

K'Star has three kiddos graduating this year but sadly they don’t get to have the graduation ceremony that all students dream about. Due to quarantine they don’t receive a cap or gown, and won't be able to walk down the stage as everyone claps and acknowledges all of their hard work. Less than 10% of foster youth graduate so they certainly deserve all of the recognition! K'Star wants to perform a small graduation ceremony for them at the shelter and along with their ‘diploma’ they would love to hand them a gift. A gift card to be exact, perfectly presented in a special graduation cap box. So they will be able to get their very own cap and be able to celebrate, as they should!
