Olena, 15 years old

Wish submitted by:

Olena is a quiet and shy young lady in foster care. She is a hard worker and enjoys doing her schoolwork. Every day, she makes time to make her schoolwork a priority. She also enjoys doing crafts. One of her favorite activities is thrift shopping, and she enjoys doing this with her mom when she goes on visits. Her favorite clothing item is a sweatshirt, and she enjoys chilling at her placement in her sweatshirt.

This year, Olena is celebrating her 16th birthday, and she has a special wish! When asked how she would like to celebrate her sweet sixteen, the top item on her list is a trip to Dorney Park. Olena has fond memories of visiting the park before she was placed in her current group home, and she dreams of creating new, joyful experiences there with her friends. Olena is hoping to get a few tickets so her friends can join her for this exciting day. This celebration means a lot to her, especially after all she has been through recently, and with the absence of contact with her birth family. She deserves a day filled with joy and fun as a wonderful reminder of this milestone birthday.
