About

Danielle Gletow’s own experience was the inspiration for One Simple Wish, a wish-granting non-profit for children who have been in and out of foster care. She and her husband were themselves foster parents so they recognized first-hand the importance of creating sense of normalcy for children in foster care. They vividly remember their first foster child arriving to their home in a coat several sizes too big, with few other possessions to his name. The EWING woman developed One Simple Wish’s website where people can go to donate everyday necessities and specific items to make life a little more pleasant for those children in need. Since 2008, the organization has successfully helped grant more than 12,500 wishes. One Simple Wish makes giving easy and meaningful for the donor while showing young people that someone cares.
