A Fuzzy Hoodie for Aaliyah to keep warm

Posted Aug 30, 2021
Aaliyah knows it is kind of warm now to be thinking of fleece hoodies, but she said you would be surprised at how many people are wearing hoodies in the summer! She thinks this one is cute and wanted to "wish" for it!!

Aaliyah is 22 years old and lives in NC

Aaliyah is a young mother of beautiful three year old boy. She has been in foster care to help her learn how to parent her son. She has recently graduated high school and she is so proud of herself. She knows she has made a few mistakes in her past, but she is a good parent and quick to respond to her son as he grows and gets older. Her son is well behaved and listens to his mom. Aaliyah now has a job and has been working almost full time providing for her son.

Emily grants the wish for Aaliyah! Thanks Emily.

"Hi Aaliyah! A warm, fuzzy hoodie sounds like the perfect fall accessory! Fall is my favorite season :). I hope you and your son are able to have many special days together full of love and joy. Some words of strength from my favorite poet, Najwa Zebian: "To the heart in you, don't be afraid to feel. To the sun in you, don't be afraid to shine. To the love in you, don't be afraid to heal. To the ocean in you, don't be afraid to rage. To the silence in you, don't be afraid to break." Best, Emily "
