Stephanie, 15 years old

Wish submitted by:

Stephanie is a bright young lady with an even brighter smile! She came into care as an infant and was adopted by an aunt shortly after. Her aunt passed away unexpectedly, and Stephanie came back into the foster care system. She has had a tough time grieving her loss and getting used to her new environment. She is incredibly talented and often works through her feelings by creating beautiful works of art. She is shy, so meeting new people can be hard for her. When she feels safe and comfortable, she is incredibly loyal and a wonderful friend. She loves to go to the movies, go bowling, and hang out at the mall so she can be around people and feel less lonely. Even though she has gone through so much in her young life, she has so much love to give and still feels the world is a beautiful place.

Stephanie loves to spend one-on-one time with her foster dad and they try to do it a few times a month. She also loves to get carry-out from different restaurants in town. The next time Steph and her foster dad have a day to themselves, she would like to surprise him with lunch from Applebee's!
