Ebony, 20 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Ebony is a creative and talented young woman whose love for music has served as her lifeline through immense struggles. Growing up in a household overshadowed by alcoholism, she often faced the threat of entering foster care. Despite this instability and the emotional pain it caused, Ebony demonstrated remarkable resilience. She sought support from Bravehearts and worked tirelessly to excel in school.

Ebony found solace in music, but winter brings a heaviness for her as she struggles with seasonal depression. This year, she hoped to create a small home studio—a cozy space where she could transform her emotions into songs. The keyboard would be the most critical piece of her dream studio. Imagining herself surrounded by soft lights, immersed in what she loved most, filled her with hope for the upcoming season. This studio would not only serve as a creative outlet but also as a healing sanctuary, allowing her to navigate her struggles through art.
