Christina, 11 years old, IN

Wish submitted by:

Christina is a happy child with a zest for life. She and her mom have traveled the country together, exposing her to a variety of cultures and cuisines. Despite this culinary adventure, her all-time favorite food remains simple: Doritos and cheese dip. Christina has a passion for YouTube and dreams of becoming a digital creator, sharing her experiences and interests with the world. When she's not busy making videos, she loves to dance and sing, expressing herself through movement and music. Sports also hold a special place in her heart, with softball being her absolute favorite. Christina has been placed in foster care, marking the first time she has been separated from her mom for any length of time. Though she is adjusting well to this new situation, she eagerly anticipates the day when she can reunite with her mom. Their bond has always been strong, as it has just been the two of them for as long as she can remember. During her time in foster care, Christina is learning to embrace her childhood, allowing the adults in her life to handle the responsibilities that come with it, while she focuses on simply being a kid.

Christina would like a tablet so that she can practice making YouTube videos, play games like Robots, and video chat with her mom, who is currently staying in a shelter due to housing insecurity. Christina hopes to become a digital creator in the future, and having a tablet will help her develop her video-making skills. She had a tablet before entering foster care, but unfortunately, all of her and her mother’s belongings were stolen from the home they were living in.
