Ella, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Ella is an amazing person who has overcome some really tough times. For two years, she faced bullying, depression, and feelings of abandonment, but with the help of her mother, she was able to get through it all. They also endured an unsafe environment, which left its scars. But despite all of these setbacks, Ella's resilience has shone through. In her moments of solitude, Ella finds comfort in books, movies, and amusement parks. Her dream is to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and make a difference in the healthcare industry. As she sets her sights on college, Ella's journey is not just about overcoming obstacles, but it's about embracing hope and forging a path toward a brighter future.

Ella just turned 18, and with prom right around the corner, she’s really hitting some big milestones! Finishing high school is such an amazing achievement for her. The only downside is that her mom hasn’t been able to provide the financial support to celebrate all the hard work Ella has put in. For her birthday, Ella dreams of spending a day shopping for some adorable summer clothes at one of her favorite stores. Having the chance to shop without worrying about the cost would mean the world to this incredible young woman. It would make for a lovely late birthday gift, honoring her resilience and celebrating the journey she’s been on! This is wish 1 of 2.
