Halie, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Halie shows a deep connection and love for music. Whether this is listening to music through her headphones in the hallways during passing periods or in the comfort of her own room, she shows great affection for all kinds of music. Additionally, Halie attends church weekly and is part of their youth group, which she enjoys greatly. Halie presents as shy when you first meet her, but once she feels she can trust you, her true colors shine and will leave a very special place in your heart. Since she has been in the foster care system, she has experienced many unfortunate circumstances that caused her to move to multiple placements. She has been in foster care for many years and has attended six different schools. In an effort to remember her childhood, she often watches TV shows like SpongeBob. She has also found that art helps her express herself, and she is passionate about sketching. Despite the significant trauma and instability that Halie has endured, she has shown an immense amount of resiliency.

Halie is very involved with her church and has built strong connections with the community. They are having a Winter Camp, and this is the first time Halie has been able to attend church camp. The church waived some of the costs for the camp, but Halie still needs some to reserve her spot. This would be a great opportunity for Halie to deepen her spirituality and gain valuable experience to help her grow and be successful.
