Anna is a lively child who loves to make the most of every day. She is currently in the foster care system and lives with her grandmother and sister. Katelynn, her sister, moved from New York to California with Anna to be with their grandmother, as she is the only family they have. When they relocated, they were not allowed to bring any belongings, which made it challenging for the girls to start over. Anna struggled to leave everything she knew behind. However, she is grateful for the support of her sister and grandmother, who provide her with a sense of peace during difficult times. Anna mentioned that she goes through many hobbies, as she loves to learn how to do everything. Currently, she is enjoying collecting sets from blind boxes. Her favorite figures come from a series called Sonny Angels and Smiskis. She finds them adorable and enjoys dressing them up in little outfits. Additionally, Anna stated that her favorite sport right now is basketball. She hopes her school has a team so she can try out. Although moving was hard for her, the support from her sister and grandmother helped to ease her sadness.

Anna needs a new desk chair because her current one is old and uncomfortable. This makes it hard for her to concentrate on her schoolwork and creative projects. As a high school senior, she spends a lot of time at her desk, whether she's doing homework, applying to colleges or jobs, editing photos, or making jewelry. The lack of support in her chair is distracting and uncomfortable during long hours of work. A better desk chair would really help Anna focus and stay organized, making her study and creative time much more enjoyable. It would also be better for her posture and overall health as she prepares for her future. More than just a chair, it would show Anna that her hard work is valued and that others believe in her dreams and success. Receiving this chair would help turn her workspace into a supportive and empowering environment for her growth and creativity.
