Gemma, 13 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Mellow, helpful, thoughtful, gentle, and caring are just some of the positive adjectives that describe Gemma. As the oldest sibling, she is always ready to be a positive role model for her brother and to care for him and his high needs. Unfortunately, she is placed in a different home from her brother. Gemma is not only one of the best role models for her brother, but she also has a creative spirit with her art. She loves drawing and creating amazing pieces. Not only does she let her creativity speak through her art, but she also shows this in the music that she listens to.

Gemma is struggling to find ways to bring her creative designs to life and stay connected with her beloved brother. Without a phone, she feels isolated and longs for a continued bond with her brother, who is currently not by her side. The absence of this connection weighs heavily on her, leaving her feeling incomplete and longing for the warmth of their relationship. She will be so happy to get a phone of her own!
