Natalie, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Natalie is a very sweet girl who was recently diagnosed with depression due to her mother’s terminal illness. She is hopeful to get more time with her mom before she passes away. Natalie is trying to stay positive, despite the circumstances and continues to put a smile on her face. Natalie like to do arts and crafts to keep her hands and her mind busy. She is passionate about tennis shoes and has a love for them. When she is hungry, pizza is always her favorite comfort food to eat.

Natalie is a charming teenager who is passionate about playing basketball. She lives with her mother, stepfather and younger brother. Her mother is terminally ill and on hospice with only a few months to live so Natalie has had to take on a lot of the household duties because her mother is too weak or tired to do so. Due to her mother's medical situation, Natalie is now often having to drive her places and she does not have a driver's license. She is concerned that she will be stopped by the police and ticketed for this. Her stepfather is out of work and her mother is on disability so there is no discretionary money to pay for driver's education for Natalie. Natalie would be thrilled to get an official driver's license to legally drive around and continue to help her mom.
