Danielle, 16 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Danielle is an amazing young lady who is currently placed in foster care with her younger sibling. She has had somewhat of a hard time in foster care, but she is currently trying to work through the emotional trauma she suffered. She loves to sing and dance. Danielle also loves to style hair and wants to own her own salon one day.

Danielle will be in 10th grade when she returns to school. Due to circumstances beyond her control, she had to attend summer school to catch up on her grades. Danielle worked very hard and was able to bring up all of her grades. She tried out for the girls' basketball team and made the JV Team. Everyone is very proud of Danielle and all her hard work. She loves the Boondocks cartoon and asked for a new hoodie for school. Purchasing the hoodie will show Danielle that hard work does pay off. Wearing something she loves will help her feel comfortable at school.
