Mekhi is 13 & has been in foster care for many years. He's been picked on for not having name-brand clothes and has a wish for Nike sweatpants to feel cool & be more like his hero Joe Burrow. You can grant his wish & others at onesimplewish.org #fostercare #joeburrow

Today, we're doing a Valentine's Venmo Challenge to try to grant the 125 longest-waiting wishes from kids experiencing foster care & crisis. Can you help by donating or sharing? Venmo.com/onesimplewish or onesimplewish.org/donate

Please help if you can. We really need our community now more than ever.

Yesterday we received a $100,000 commitment from a supporter. I can't even process how big this is for so many reasons. As a smaller org that operates with integrity & no government or special interest funding, this is huge.

Please keep cheering on the helpers. We need to hear you.

Eric entered foster care at 3 after his mom was incarcerated. After 2 moves & an adoption, sadly his adoptive mom gave up custody. He's now in a residential facility. Eric finds joy in gaming & wishes for a Nintendo Switch. You can help grant it by donating any $ at venmo.com/onesimplewish or on IG

What do kids in foster care wish for? The same things you did when you were a kid! Please visit onesimplewish.org and consider granting a wish or making a donation of any amount. There are over 750 wishes waiting to be granted.

Love, love, love this!!!

We grant wishes to kids impacted by foster care to bring a measure of joy to their lives at a time when things are incredibly difficult & confusing. Wish-granting has been a bit slow this month. Hoping this beautiful community can visit onesimplewish.org & grant a wish or share us!

For everyone who is feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and unsure what to believe anymore... wishgrantingmama.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

This. This. This.

One Simple Wish will continue to prioritize wishes from individuals impacted by the LA fires. If you need us, or know someone who does, please email [email protected]. We are great at meeting specfic needs quickly & getting them directy to people.

We know there is so much devastation in LA right now and absolutely understand that resources are scarce and being focused on this crisis. We are so grateful for this gift so we can keep granting wishes as they pour in from kids all over the US.

WOW! We hosted 3 events in 1 day at the iconic La La Land Cafe in LA to spread love, hope, and joy to kids & young adults impacted by #fostercare. It was a beautiful day filled with so much kindness! youtu.be/yPl2QYtkHAU

Today I watched an 8 y/o girl run up to her 5 y/o sister shouting “my sister is here!” They used to be in the same foster home & the older girl was recently moved. We got to bring them together at the @onesimplewish.bsky.social Holiday Wish Party. It was heartbreaking & beautiful. Hug your kids ❤️

Thanks to The Nation for shouting out @onesimplewish.bsky.social Wish-granting is a great habit to pick up!!!

Yesterday we told you about Hope, an 11 y/o placed in foster care after she was found so malnourished that she appeared half her age. You responded by granting ALL her holiday wishes and raising an additional $2400 to grant future wishes. This is also the world we live in. There is good here.
