Alana, 16 years old, OH

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 had to move to her grandmother's house recently and she has very few clothes. She would love to go to Forever 21 to buy some trendy clothing for herself. Granting this wish would help Alana to practice her budgeting skills while selecting some pants, a light jacket, some underclothes, and shirts. It would mean a lot to her if her wish could be granted with a Forever 21 gift card. THis wish has been split into two to allow for a great shopping spree. This is wish 2 of 2.
