Wish submitted by:

Clara is a young lady who has been working hard to complete high school and will be an adult soon! She is already looking for a job. Clara is so motivated to learn the skills she needs to be a successful adult. She is a caring and nice person who is respectful to everyone around her. Clara takes care of her siblings and encourages them to do well for themselves too. She is such a pleasure to be around, and watch grow into her wonderful self.

Clara lives in a home where many foster youth have come and gone. Having aged out of foster care, she is still staying with her former foster parent, who is willing to support her. As the adult in the house, Clara is trying to create a space that feels more comfortable and personal. She is currently asking for a new bed to improve her comfort and to have something new for herself. Clara has been working hard to help around the house, support her siblings, finish high school, and even take on some work in her free time. She is a kind and dedicated young person who rarely asks for much for herself.
