"Thank you sooo much One Simple Wish for granting my wish for the Ed Sheeran concert! It was the perfect way to end an emotional weekend. I had attended the National ILA conference with FAM and it brought up a lot of emotions from my own foster experience. This was not a bad thing; I believe it is good to process those feelings as they come up. So being able to attend a concert with others who have lived experience in foster care and have a wonderful organization (OSW) grant the wish of going, was such an amazing experience. I am so grateful to your organization and all the wonderful things you do for the foster care population. So thank you!! I say it all the time how I wish (OSW) was a thing when I was in care. There was so many things and events I missed out on due to financial reasons while I was in foster care. This resulted in me feeling even more “weird” and I felt like it placed a spot light over me that I was a foster kid. I love seeing all of the kids you have a positive impact on, on social media. You guys are AMAZING and thank you again!! My words cannot express how grateful I am for OSW and FAM! Love, Ashley"
