Rachel, 15 years old

Wish submitted by:

Rachel is the oldest of 5 siblings and is such a great helper to her mother. Rachel is a good student and says history is her favorite subject. Rachel is very interested in museums and would love to work at the American Museum of Natural History one day.

Rachel is an amazing big sister! She has four younger siblings, three of whom are under the age of three. She loves her family and does everything she can to help them. A few months ago, the family became homeless and has been living in a motel room, which is quite challenging for a family of six in such a small space. Rachel has matured quickly and understands that her younger siblings deserve a Christmas celebration. She even mentioned that she could go without gifts this year. However, Rachel's caseworker is determined to ensure that doesn't happen and is submitting a wish on her behalf as a surprise. Rachel's wish is for a pair of tall Uggs. She joked with the caseworker about it, noting that they were too expensive to wish for. This gift would be the perfect surprise for Rachel on Christmas morning!
