Wish submitted by:

Alana is a strong and motivated young woman who continues to work toward her goals despite experiencing difficult circumstances growing up. She and her sister spent time in the foster care system and experienced the loss of their father at a very young age. These challenges have shaped Alana into someone who is determined to build a better future. Alana is focused on her education and is committed to doing well in school. She continues to work hard and strives to overcome obstacles while building confidence in herself and her abilities. She enjoys spending time with family, listening to music, and finding ways to express herself. Alana is learning how to turn her experiences into motivation as she works toward becoming successful and independent. Those who know Alana see her strength, determination, and potential to accomplish great things.

Alana's birthday is quickly approaching. Alana has been staying with her grandmother for the past year while her father was in rehab. She was excited to get a picture of him released and sober. Alana told her grandmother that all she wanted for her birthday was to see her father. Granting this wish for a gas card will allow her to see her father during spring break.
