An inspiring young person, 9 years old

Wish submitted by:

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 loves partnering with inspiring young people to help spread knowledge about the Foster Care System. Ángela Quijada-Banks is the author of The Black Foster Youth Handbook. We reached out to Ángela directly and together we are sending 136 copies of The Black Foster Youth Handbook to several different partners across the nation.
