Mary, 9 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Mary is a quiet little girl living in a foster home with her twin sister. She enjoys reading and coloring, and her favorite colors are yellow and green. Mary loves school and consistently earns good grades. Her artwork has even been displayed in the local library. Mary shares a close bond with her sister, and they support each other during this challenging time. She has a passion for animals and hopes to receive a kitten for her birthday. One of her favorite things is being tucked in bed and receiving big hugs from her foster mom.

Mary will be entering the 3rd grade next month. Mary can't wait to meet her new teacher and her old friends from last year. Mary has been picking out her school clothes and asked for a new LOL bookbag. Mary had a LOL bookbag last school year, and it is quite worn. Mary's foster parents have been purchasing most of the things she has requested. Purchasing the book bag would help the family tremendously.
