Mecklenburg County Guardian ad Litem

Amy is a remarkable young woman who has faced many challenges in her life. She has been placed in several different homes, and at one point, she ran away and was listed as a missing child nationwide. Currently, she is living in a girls' home and is approaching the age at which she will age out of the system. Despite her struggles, Amy excels in school and is a talented painter. She plans to attend cosmetology school after graduating from high school in the spring of 2026.

Amy has expressed her desire for a Target gift card to purchase supplies for doing nails, not only for herself but also for the other young ladies in her group home. With various items on her list, a gift card would allow her to buy everything she needs all at once. Amy dreams of becoming a cosmetologist and one day owning her own spa. She has a passion for making others feel beautiful and loves the art of pampering them. This wish has been divided up so that Amy can get supplies. This is wish 1 of 2.
