Keri, 13 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Keri comes from a large family with a total of eight siblings, who are placed in different homes. Before entering foster care, she was responsible for helping to care for her six younger siblings, which often prevented her from enjoying childhood activities. Now, she is able to participate in those activities. Keri is generally quiet and tends to keep to herself, but she performs well in school. She has a passion for horses and owns a large collection of horse figurines. Additionally, Keri is very artistic; she loves drawing and painting and excels at both.

Keri has experienced a considerable amount of trauma in her young life. However, she now enjoys a safe and stable home environment where she can be a kid and engage in activities like painting and drawing that bring her happiness, peace, and a sense of accomplishment. These art supplies will support her creative expression and allow her to create artwork that she can take pride in.
