Elaina, 18 years old, OH |

Wish submitted by:

Elaina is a strong and determined young woman who has shown remarkable resilience through life's challenges. After spending time in foster care with her sister and experiencing the loss of her father at a young age, she has remained focused on creating a positive future for herself. Elaina works hard in school and understands the opportunities that education can provide. She enjoys drawing and other creative outlets that allow her to express herself and build confidence. Thoughtful, hardworking, and resilient, Elaina continues to pursue her goals with optimism and determination.

Elaina and her grandma have moved into a new house. Although Elaina still has her own room, she now has the opportunity to decorate it. She had hoped to return to her mother's home, but she understands that this will be a permanent living arrangement. Elaina wants to create a teenage-friendly environment with some personal touches. She has chosen a fuzzy carpet because the floors are very cold, a pink lamp since there is no overhead lighting in her room, some fake flowers, and a wooden nameplate for her wall. Elaina wants to redecorate her room and create a sense of belonging. Having been moved around several times, she just wants her own space. Granting this wish would allow her to design a room that reflects her personal style.
