🥳🥳 SUCCESS STORY!

We've served this kind and sweet young man for over five years, imagine our delight in hearing that the one thing he'd do to get his grades up was a shopping trip at Fostering Wishes Foundation 💙

We prepared a Camp Wish and Birthday Wish for him a year ago and all of his things were stolen/lost at his previous foster home. His sheets, the sneakers he was ecstatic to find and handed us his old, dirty ones so he could wear immediately, all the "just right" clothes he spent hours lovingly choosing, his favorite color Stanley cup and everything else he selected - gone.

This happens often when foster youth get moved between homes. Either a case worker forgets to take them, or waits too long to get them and other kids in the house take it for themselves. Sometimes it's put away for ""safekeeping" but can't be found in the few moments they're given to move. It's not always malicious but it is always sad.

It's heartbreaking that his belongings are missing but we're going to ensure that this teen gets replacements for everything and some new items he'll love.

Congratulations on that English grade "J", we're so proud of you and can't wait to see you on 6/16!
💙💙

*MEMORY* from 2 years ago.
In just 24 months we increased our space from 200sqft in an outdoor storage unit to the current 2200sqft space! From fewer than 1000 products, to over 15,000 currently in stock.
We're also have electric, heat, a/c and furniture now!
So much has changed in 2 years, but not our dedication to Delaware's foster youth 💙💙

Your donations matter! 💙

This week, we purchased 60 pair of Levi's jeans and khakis for our foster teens in waist sizes from 28-44" and a new clothing rack to display them.

Volunteers are sorting and hanging all the pants to make selection quicker and easier.

With the new, larger space we can stock more merchandise that our kids request regularly.

Kids helping kids is the best thing ever!

Today I had the joy and privilege of speaking to eighth graders at NCCL School after they collected $300 cash and 4 huge bins of donations for foster youth in Delaware.

What kind and compassionate young people! 💙💙

(They even loaded it all in the car 😁)

A busy day at FWF today but we accomplished so much!
Our contractor Sam set up the custom desk created by the fabulous Andrew, created a pegboard wall for teen jewelry, ties and other accessories, assembled carts and chairs for the Little Free Store, and helped with a dozen other projects.

Volunteer Kaliope assembled a bike, tagged and shelved incoming merchandise, built desk accessories and took all the trash to the dumpster.

What wonderful people we have supporting our foster youth 💙💙

Know how I keep saying we have the absolute best volunteers?

Not only has Andrew Dale moved us TWICE, arranged the crew and vehicles, assisted with set up and is the star raffle ticket seller at every event. And rebuilt my 23 year old suv when he learned it was our only vehicle. The list goes on and on and on, he's truly remarkable

In between his full time job and FWF's needs, he built us a custom Fostering Wishes Foundation desk!!

What a beautiful reminder of a man who gives so much of himself for everyone else 💙💙

I smile every time I walk in the office and will do so forever thinking of Andrew and how important he's been to FWF, and me personally. Proud to call you my friend and to show off this gorgeous desk with our logo 😍😍💙

Thank you Andrew!!!

(There's 2 more custom pieces, more pics to come when setup is completed)
