Lori, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Lori hasn't been in foster care for too long but has already moved twice. Despite the changes, she has found a school she enjoys attending, where she has been making friends. Lori hopes she won’t have to move again unless it’s to return home. In her free time, she loves experimenting with makeup, spending time with pets, and getting in her beauty sleep. Going to the movies and hanging out with friends are some of her favorite activities. Currently, her fashion trend revolves around Western style, which she embraces with confidence.

As her birthday approaches, Lori dreams of receiving a vibrant eyeshadow palette, her heart set on the idea of wearing makeup to school. Having grown up without the chance to explore this creative outlet—no one allowed her the freedom to experiment with cosmetics—she feels a growing desire to enhance her natural beauty. The thought of applying colorful shades to her eyelids ignites a spark of excitement within her, as she imagines the confidence she could gain from fixing herself up and expressing her unique style through makeup.
