Nonprofit Organization Management - Zionsville, Indiana, United States
Wishing Wings Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in January 2020 by Ginger Summers a Boone County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). Being a CASA in my community gave me the insight to see the many challenges that youth in the system face as well as the families that they are placed with. Children within the foster care system face challenges every day and often go without proper resources or hope. Wishing Wings has identified an area that is often neglected; teenagers in need. Teens are often forgotten when it comes to donations, relocation needs, and other support. Youth are often relocated and forced to enroll in new schools and have little resources. Starting over is challenging even when you are with your family but is even more when you have been removed and living at a new place where you know no one. This stress can be reduced if the youth are dressed and prepared to fit in. It is the goal of Wishing Wings to prepare these unfortunate youth to succeed while in the system and be prepared when/if they are able to be reunified with their families.Wishing Wings will provide clothing, shoes, seasonal wear, toys and additional specific gifts dependent on the situation. Additional support may be in the form of sports fee payments, High school dance attire, etc…Youth in need will be sought out through Boone County CASA, Foster Care Agencies, Wishing Wings Website, DCS, and word of mouth.
