Erica, 13 years old

Wish submitted by:

Erica is a very sweet and well-mannered girl. She is new to the foster care system and has been enjoying her time with her new foster mom. Erica loves to share stories about her school adventures and enjoys attending church with her sister and foster mom. She has a passion for volleyball and cheerleading, as well as participating in various activities. Friendly and outgoing, Erica loves making new friends.

Erica has missed out on many opportunities that are usually available to the average child due to her experiences with neglect and homelessness before being placed in foster care. She loves to learn and enjoys reading, imagining, and creating new things. Erica would greatly benefit from attending a two-week camp at the YMCA, where she could participate in activities such as sports events, swimming, and arts and crafts. Attending camp would allow her to grow, develop new skills, and make new friends. Unfortunately, her foster mom is unable to afford camp fees due to financial challenges. This request has been split into two wishes to allow Erica to enjoy two amazing weeks of summer camp! This is wish 1 of 2.
