Alana, 20 years old, GA

Wish submitted by:

Alana, who has been in and out of foster care since age 11 due to an abusive home, found stability with a caring foster family. However, after the home became too crowded, she ended up sleeping in her car and staying in motels. She has now joined a transitional living program, putting her pride aside to seek help. A skilled and hard-working young lady, Alana enjoys crafts and educational conversations. To relieve stress, she goes for drives, listens to music, and takes walks. Alana aspires to become a 911 dispatcher and is actively working toward that goal.

Alana is dedicated to her studies and her new job. She is pursuing a career in automotive mechanics while working at a quick oil change service station. Since she is entering a male-dominated field, she craves a calming space at home where she can relax and feel at peace. To express her personality, she wants to decorate her blank space with soft pinks that reflect the young woman she is. Pink is her favorite color, and she would love to cuddle up on her couch with soft pink pillows.
