FOSTERING WISHES
Fostering Wishes turns wishes into moments children never forget.
Created for foster youth and children facing difficult circumstances, the program goes beyond meeting basic needs. We create joy, restore hope, and remind children that they are seen, valued, and worthy of something special.
From a much wanted gift to an unforgettable experience, every wish is personal. Every wish has a story. And every wish is an opportunity to tell a child, “You matter.”
Through the generosity of our community and our partnership with One Simple Wish, we help make wishes ranging from simple needs to meaningful experiences a reality.
Because sometimes one wish can create a memory, restore hope, and remind a child that people are rooting for them.
Fostering Wishes More than a gift. A moment of hope.
The Fostering Wishes Program spreads love, hope, and joy to foster youth and children in need. Create your account to submit wishes for the incredible young people you serve.
