Maliyah, 14 years old, OK | NEEDED BY 08/11

Wish submitted by:

Maliyah has a bright smile and a love for storytelling. She often escapes into her imagination through writing short stories and comics. Though she's experienced instability, she continues to show up with courage. Maliyah is currently living in a group home and wants to become an author so other kids know they're not alone.

Maliyah has been wearing hand-me-down clothes that are too big and worn out. As she starts a new school this year, she wants to make a fresh impression. Maliyah is hoping for an opportunity to buy clothes that she loves and that fit her personal style.
