Mariah, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Mariah is a very intelligent young lady who is working hard to overcome life's challenges. She is now living with a supportive family that is helping her learn to accept herself and grow in self-confidence. Mariah loves all things related to nature and enjoys being outdoors, observing everything in its natural environment. She can often be found drawing plants and animals, foraging for morels, and photographing nature. She has the potential to grow into a talented young woman! Mariah is also receiving supportive services from the Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association.

***This is not an April Fool's joke! Thanks to a few very generous supporters who have underwritten the cost of this wish, it is only $10 - today only!*** Mariah really wants a pair of western boots because she thinks they would be perfect for her outdoor fun! Whether she’s foraging in the woods, exploring trails, or taking photos in nature, these boots will help keep her feet clean and comfy, even in muddy spots. They’ll be sturdy enough to protect her from snakes while she’s running around the farm or hiking through tall grass. With great arch support, she could spend hours outside without any worries. Mariah would be super happy to have her own boots, and she sees them as a great buddy for all her adventures!
