Gia, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Gia is a sweet and resilient young girl. She has been through a lot in the past few years but remains hopeful for her future. Despite having changed school several times, she continues to work hard at maintaining good grades. Gia is very bright. She has been described by many as creative and well read - while the other girls in her past group home would watch TV, Gia preferred to spend her time reading the Bible.

Gia has struggled a lot this year but is working hard to stabilize herself as she prepares for adulthood. She is turning 17 and looking forward to her best year yet. Her birthday wish is to update her wardrobe and get some clothes that better match her style. Some of the brands Gia loves most are sold at Nordstrom. While Gia has limited time out in the community, a gift card would allow her to shop online and have the independence and choice to decide what clothing she would like. This wish was broken into two parts to allow for an epic shopping spree! This is wish 1 of 2
