Madison, 21 years old, AL

Wish submitted by:

Madison is a bright and athletic senior in high school who dreams of being the first in her family to attend college. She has been in kinship care with her grandmother, great-grandmother, and sisters for almost five years. Over the years, Madison has watched her parents struggle with addiction, and while she is heartbroken that she had to grow up without them, her grandmother is a loving and stabilizing force in her life. Madison is an active student, juggling the volleyball and tennis teams, art club, and maintaining excellent grades.

Madison's senior year holds such promise, but she isn't able to participate in many of those important milestones due to financial constraints. Madison's wish is to be just like her peers and have the opportunity order her cap and gown, sit for senior portraits, and send out graduation announcements to family and friends.
