Daila, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Daila has been in and out of foster homes and has suffered from severe depression. However, Daila has been living in a foster home and has shown a tremendous change in her behavior for the better. She has made significant progress in learning to express her feelings and show more love. Daila finds joy in activities such as drawing, listening to music, remodeling old furniture, playing video games, and spending time with her closest friends. She has set a goal to be the best version of herself and build a brighter future.

Daila has been feeling really stressed lately after moving to a new school because of bullying. Adjusting to her new environment has been tough, especially with a few of her classes proving to be a challenge. She often feels overwhelmed and anxious about everything. Her best friend noticed that something was off and came up with a sweet idea: instead of celebrating Valentine’s Day as they normally would, why not have a Galentine’s Day together? This suggestion has sparked a little excitement in Daila, giving her something to look forward to. The thought of spending a cozy evening with her friend at one of their favorite restaurants, enjoying good food, and just being together has really lifted her spirits. It feels like a refreshing break from her recent struggles, and for the first time in a while, she’s starting to feel a bit hopeful again.
