HOLIDAY WISH

A festive holiday feast for Taylor to celebrate the season

Posted Dec 13, 2024
This holiday season, Taylor wants to make a special celebration for her aunt, who has always been there for her. Grateful for everything her aunt does, Taylor plans to surprise her with a festive holiday feast. In an effort to spread joy, she also wants to invite their neighbors who might not have anywhere to go. To bring her vision to life, Taylor could use some help in purchasing the items needed for the meal. She’s excited to prepare a delicious spread that includes ham, macaroni and cheese, green beans, and mashed potatoes. With the support of her aunt and the warmth of their community, Taylor hopes everyone has a wonderful holiday!

Taylor is 17 years old and lives in NJ

Taylor had always felt a void in her life, stemming from the deep pain of being abandoned by her father, while her mother remained a ghost, lingering in the shadows of her past. Despite this profound loss, she found solace in her aunt’s unwavering support and love, who had generously opened her home to Taylor during her most challenging moments. As she approached her high school graduation in 2025, a wave of excitement washed over her, brimming with hope and determination to carve out a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. Taylor envisioned a bright future where she would not only pursue her academic dreams but also embrace the independence she longed for. Her aunt, always her guiding light, continually encouraged her with the uplifting mantra, "The sky is the limit," instilling in Taylor the belief that she could achieve anything she set her mind to.
