A Homeless Child's Wish For A Home

Bianca’s Kids received a wish from 7-year-old Giovanna.  At the time, Giovanna and her mother Michelle had been living in a homeless shelter for eight months.  In 2013, Giovanna made a wish for a home for holidays just 3 weeks before Christmas.

Bianca’s Kids granted Giovanna's wish and just 4 days before Christmas, we moved Giovanna and Michelle into a fully furnished/fully stocked 2-story home.  

This Christmas miracle was the feature story on NBC10 Philadelphia News on Christmas Eve, 2013 & the cover of the South Jersey Times Christmas edition.  


Our wish granting included the following:

• Furniture for every room in the house;
• Television, fully stocked kitchen (i.e. pots/pans/microwave/full fridge/every cabinet full of food; 
• A full princess bedroom for Giovanna with a library as she is an avid reader; 
• $250 to go Christmas shopping on the day of the reveal while volunteers worked on the home;
• $1,500 worth of Justice clothing, shoes, and winter coats for Giovanna;
• Brand new clothing and winter coat for Michelle;
• An iPod touch for Giovanna (her one must-have Christmas list item)
• $2,000 in Visa gift cards for Michelle to help her pay household bills while she is in college perusing a nursing degree;
• One year paid cable bill;
• A Christmas tree with tons of gifts for both Giovanna and Michelle.
