Bella, 17 years old, NC

Wish submitted by:

Bella is a sweet and introverted young lady. She is well-mannered, performs well in school, and consistently completes her homework. Unfortunately, she has moved frequently while in foster care. Bella loves listening to Beyoncé and Doja Cat, and her favorite color is pink. Although foster care has been challenging for her, she has recently moved in with her grand-aunt, where she is now living with her sister. Therapy has greatly benefited her, and she has started a new hobby, crocheting, alongside her grand-aunt. She enjoys crocheting every night and has just begun teaching her sister how to do it as well.

When Bella was at home, she had her own iPad, which unfortunately got damaged during a domestic violence dispute involving her mother’s boyfriend. This incident ultimately led to her placement in foster care. Despite the challenges she faces, Bella wishes to continue her therapy sessions virtually with her previous therapist. Plus, she hopes to use FaceTime to connect with her friends back home, as being placed far away from them has been difficult for her.
