Mission: Fostering Wishes Foundation is a 100% volunteer organization that grants birthday, holiday and special occasion wishes to children and teens in Delaware foster care, improving mental and physical health and preparing them for the future. In October 2024, we opened our Little Free Store of Wishes where foster kids, or their case workers, can choose brand-new, top-name clothing, footwear, toys, sports gear, instruments and lessons, art supplies, hygiene, bedding and towels, suitcase or duffle, bikes, household goods, books, gift cards and more - whatever matters to them, matters to us! When aging out of care at 18 or starting college, teens rarely have the means to get essentials, so we provide bedding, housewares, towels and even décor, so their space is personal and welcoming for their transition from foster care to independent living. Fostering Wishes Foundation is available to every youth in Delaware foster care We're determined to ensure the foster population of Delaware has dignity, joy and a sense of childhood normalcy during a time of turmoil. These kids have experienced enough trauma, they deserve some typical childhood experiences and all the joy we can provide!
