Zoey, 20 years old

Wish submitted by:

Zoey's journey has been anything but ordinary. Before being adopted at the age of 15 by her art teacher, she spent years moving between various foster homes, never quite finding stability or a sense of belonging. It wasn't until her adoption that she truly began to feel seen and supported. Her art teacher recognized Zoey's passion and talent and became a pivotal figure in her life. Now, as a college student majoring in arts and theatre, Zoey has discovered a way to channel her emotions and experiences into her creative expression. Acting and visual arts provide her with an escape from her inner world and allow her to communicate in ways that words often cannot capture. Art has become more than just a hobby for her; it serves as a lifeline that helps her navigate the complexities of her past while embracing the future with confidence.

For Christmas this year, Zoey is hoping for a gold full-length body mirror to add a touch of elegance to her apartment. As a college student balancing a busy schedule of classes, rehearsals, and art projects, she’s been finding it difficult to get a good look at herself when trying on outfits or preparing for performances. A mirror would not only be a practical addition to her space, but it would also help her feel more connected to her personal style and self-expression. Zoey envisions the gold frame complementing her minimalist aesthetic while adding a bit of glamour to her living room. It’s a small wish, but one that would make her everyday routines feel a little more polished and put together.
