Paris, 17 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Paris is the youngest of five children and is being raised by a hardworking single mother who has dedicated herself to supporting and caring for her family. Paris travels back and forth between her mother’s and father’s homes and has learned to adapt through many transitions while continuing to stay focused on her goals and future. She is a playful, outgoing, and determined young lady who loves being involved in school activities. Paris has participated in ROTC, choir, cheerleading, and basketball, all while maintaining good grades and working hard academically. Her dedication and perseverance recently led to her being accepted into Ohio Wesleyan University, where she will attend in the fall after receiving a $5,000 scholarship. She plans to study Performing Arts and hopes to eventually join the military after completing school. Although Paris has faced emotional and mental challenges that many teenagers should never have to carry, she continues taking life one day at a time with strength and resilience. She is focused on creating a brighter future for herself while continuing to grow personally and academically. Paris is excited for this next chapter and all the opportunities that college will bring.

Almost everything that Paris has had, she has had handed down to her, from beds to clothes, to shoes, etc. For a long time now, she has been wanting her bedroom decorated to fit her style and personality. She would love a vintage Paris Rose comforter set. Not only will it be another step to decorating her room, it will also improve her sleep so that she is well-rested for the next day
