Taaliyahna, 16 years old, NM

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Taaliyahna has been in state custody for several months. She is a teenager who enjoys spending time with her friends and maintains a close bond with her siblings. Taaliyahna loves her parents and hopes to be reunited with them in the future. Proud of her heritage, she identifies as both Native American and African American. Taaliyahna also takes pride in being a role model for her siblings. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, listening to music, and creating content on TikTok.

Taaliyahna is excited for school this year, especially because she's taking a zoology class that will let her explore her passion for animals. Knowing she’ll be walking to different classes, she would like to get a new pair of shoes to keep her comfortable. She can’t wait to show off her new kicks while learning about the fascinating world of wildlife!
