Wish submitted by:

Alana is a strong, motivated young woman who continues to work toward her goals despite experiencing difficult circumstances growing up. After spending time in the foster care system and navigating loss at a very young age, she has developed a powerful determination to build a better future. Alana is committed to her education, focused on building her self-confidence, and enjoys listening to music and expressing her creativity. Those who know Alana see her incredible strength, resilience, and potential to accomplish great things as she works toward independent success.

Alana is a teenage girl passionate about hair and makeup. Each morning, she finds herself running up and down the stairs to get ready because there is no mirror in her room; the only mirror available is in the bathroom downstairs. Living in a household with multiple girls often means she is rushed while applying her makeup and doing her hair. Alana wishes for a vanity in her own room, complete with a power outlet, so she can apply her makeup and style her hair without interruptions. This would allow her to look her best every morning before school.
