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!

Last Spring, One Simple Wish launched its first ever Scholarship Program. We were so excited to award over $130,000 to over 45 recipients. We are preparing for Spring 2022's applicants and hope to double our awards! Granting this wish brings us one step closer to our goal.
