Vanessa, 16 years old, ME | NEEDED BY 08/29

Wish submitted by:

Vanessa is an artistic child who currently resides in a residential facility. Vanessa enjoys engaging with others through arts & crafts. Vanessa loves to read, make origami, do puzzles and create beautiful art. Vanessa has started to get joy out of exploring nature and being around other people. Living in foster care has been hard for Vanessa and she has been in and out of crisis several times but she continues to have a good attitude. Vanessa is a kind hearted and thoughtful child whose smile lights up a room !

Vanessa recently moved into a new foster home, and this change has been challenging for her. She feels nervous about starting at a new school this fall and wants to make a good impression in both the classroom and with her peers. One thing that helps her feel confident is looking her best. She often finds great deals on stylish clothes at Marshalls. Before diving into her studies, she would love to visit Marshalls to shop for clothes, shoes, and back-to-school supplies! This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a great shopping trip! This is wish 1 of 2.
