Makayla, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Makayla is a kind, unique, talented, and vibrant youth from the New York City foster care system. She loves being part of the Felix Family because it gives her the opportunity to try new activities, explore her interests, and spend time with friends and other grownups who care about her wellbeing. She hopes she can be part of this family for many years.

The holidays can be a challenging time for children in foster care, many of whom have been removed from their homes or separated from people they loved and relied on, like their siblings. This year, Makayla would love a new pair of earrings. This gift will be more than an opportunity to receive a physical item, it is a reminder that somebody cares. Makayla will feel extra special if their wish is granted.
