Alana, 16 years old, OH | NEEDED BY 08/30

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 was hoping that her dad would get her the shoes that she had been asking for. Unfortunately, he didn't bring her anything for school. She will start school tomorrow in sandals, as that is all she has. Alana hopes to be able to try out for sports this year. Granting this wish will allow her to have a pair of tennis shoes to wear to school and hopefully wear during her tryouts.
