Zaria, 15 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Zaria is a very bright individual who recently entered foster care and is struggling with a lot of anxiety. She is currently receiving support to help her manage her feelings. Zaria enjoys focusing on the things she loves, such as scented candles, nail art, reading, the color blue, fidget toys, journaling, and colorful lights. Although this is a confusing time for her as she adjusts to foster care, she is doing her best to stay positive.

Zaria is really excited for school to start up again next month! She's been looking forward to reuniting with all of her friends who she missed over the summer. Plus, she's been keeping active with basketball through the YMCA summer league. She'll do great at tryouts this year, especially since she's been working hard to improve her skills over the break. A new pair of tennis shoes would be the perfect gift to start off the school year!
