Janessa, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Janessa is a smart and cheerful young woman who has been navigating life in the foster care system since birth. Adopted as a baby, her circumstances changed when she entered foster care a few years later. Despite these challenges, she is making the best out of her situation and currently thriving in her placement. Janessa is dedicated to planning for her future; she balances work and spending time with friends while always looking ahead. Notably, she has already reached out to an army recruiter to explore opportunities, demonstrating her proactive approach to achieving her goals.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Janessa with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
