Wish submitted by:

Zemirah, known as “MyMy,” is a former foster child who entered the system at age 9 after being permanently removed from her mother’s household. This change also led to her being estranged from her nine siblings, leaving her to grow up as an only child. Although Zemirah has been fortunate to have her own room and a pet cat to care for, the absence of her siblings has created a sadness in her life. She spends her time hanging out with friends and experimenting with makeup. These activities have helped boost her self-esteem and alleviate some of the loneliness she has experienced over the years.

Zemirah, a former foster youth who has faced challenges with depression and body insecurities, has become increasingly active in her fitness training. She focuses on maintaining a healthy diet to optimize her results. A nutritious diet not only enhances her daily well-being but also boosts her confidence during fitness classes.
