Raelyn, 10 years old

Wish submitted by:

Raelyn had a tough time during the 2023-2024 school year. She was truant and was bullied on many occasions. She's had a difficult home life and does not have a father figure as her father was incarcerated in 2018. She's moved homes, lived in chaos at times, and has watched her mother struggle with financial hardship and mental health. Raelyn has done a complete turnaround, on her own, and is now doing wonderful in school. She's strong and creative. She's a great big sister to her younger brother and does very well with taking care of the family's pet cats. Raelyn's perseverance and personality have truly begun to shine.

Raelyn's getting to that age where clothes are a big deal, and she really wants to fit in with her friends at school. She's been eyeing this awesome Nike hoodie, and it would be the perfect birthday gift to make her feel happy and confident.
