Erin, 15 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Erin and her two younger sisters were removed from parental custody due to physical abuse. She is a very bright student and excels in her ethnic studies class. She is friendly and kind and always looking out for her little sisters. She loves music, cars, and creative expression. When Erin's CASA takes her on outings, she loves to pick the radio station so that she and her sisters can sing and harmonize. They all have beautiful voices.

Erin has a profound passion for music that serves as her refuge from the chaos of daily life. Amongst the clamor of her lively household, filled with the constant chatter and antics of her sisters, she yearns for a pair of special headphones. These headphones symbolize her desire for a sanctuary—a personal cocoon where she can immerse herself in melodies and escape the overwhelming noise around her. Since October 2024, Erin has faced a series of significant life transitions, including a change in her living arrangement. Each transition has brought its own set of challenges and stressors. In these moments of uncertainty, music becomes her lifeline, providing a comforting distraction and allowing her to disconnect from the pressures of her new reality. For Erin, the world of sound offers not just an escape, but a means to find solace and regain her sense of calm amidst the storms of change.
