N'Jaya, 13 years old

Wish submitted by:

N'Jaya is a very sweet young lady who receives support from the Department of Social Services. She loves to sing, dance, and roller skate! She also enjoys reading and writing poems. Although she has had some challenges in her young life, those challenges have not taken away her pretty smile and positive outlook on life.

N'Jaya has had an exciting school year and will soon be graduating to attend middle school in the fall. She was named captain of her cheer team and recently discovered her paternal family, whom she will be meeting in New York this summer. N'Jaya is ecstatic and has already started preparing for the trip by gathering her clothes. She's asked for a pair of Nike shoes to complete her look for the big event. She wants to make a great impression and feel confident when she meets her family for the first time.
