Sometimes the wishes are bigger.
26-year-old Essense grew up in foster care and had a tough time after aging out; that is until her dream came true when she became a mom. When her daughter turned 3 and she found out she was pregnant again, she was elated. Sadly, shortly after she was designated high-risk and diagnosed with both preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. To make things even more stressful, the home that she shared with her family was falling apart and they needed to move quickly into a safer place for the kids. They found a home that fit but with Essense out of work they weren't able to come up with enough for the security deposit. She came to One Simple Wish for help and within hours this community donated over $3,500 to make this move possible.
We know we've told you before but when you come together as a community there is really nothing quite like it!
So today we are sharing 25 more "big" wishes from our site and we're hoping we can get them all granted today!
These 25 wishes, listed below, total $10,316. These wishes, the ones that are $350 and over, tend to take a lot longer to grant and by asking you all to give anything you can, we think we can make 25 smiles happen much faster.
Here are the wishes:
A tablet for Marlee who wants to pursue graphic design
A New Tablet for Angela to share with her sister
A Few Driving Lessons for Michael
Beautiful dining set for Shawn's family
