Zemirah, 18 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 04/11

Wish submitted by:

Zemirah, known as “MyMy,” is a former foster child who entered the system at age 9 after being permanently removed from her mother’s household. This change also led to her being estranged from her nine siblings, leaving her to grow up as an only child. Although Zemirah has been fortunate to have her own room and a pet cat to care for, the absence of her siblings has created a sadness in her life. She spends her time hanging out with friends and experimenting with makeup. These activities have helped boost her self-esteem and alleviate some of the loneliness she has experienced over the years.

Zemirah is super excited to celebrate her 18th birthday! After being apart from her family since she was 9, she’s worked hard and stayed positive. Now, she dreams of going on her first cruise with one of her nine siblings! This trip is a great chance for her to improve her language skills and reconnect with her family. Zemirah can’t wait to explore new places, meet different people, and experience new cultures. She hopes to create a future full of adventure and kindness. Zemirah would really appreciate any help to cover the cost of this special trip with her sibling!
