About Fostering Wishes Foundation

Mission: Grant 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. Kids request their Wishes through their case worker or advocate and are encouraged to request whatever they want or need - clothes, shoes, toys, sports gear, prom gown, instrument, art supplies, comfort items, personal care, suitcase or book bag, bike or book - whatever matters to them, matters to us. When aging out of care at 18, teens rarely have the means to get essentials for their first place, 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 recently opened out "Little Free Store" in Dover, a welcoming, sunny and happy space where case workers or foster teens can shop 4 rooms of all brand new clothing, footwear, toys, hygiene, towels and bed linens, household goods, bikes, art and crafts, formal wear, coats and so much more! We're determined to ensure the foster population of Delaware has dignity and normalcy during a time of turmoil. These kids have experienced enough trauma, they deserve some typical childhood experiences
