Aniyah, 14 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Aniyah often feels anxious when meeting new people, but she has a strong intuition for reading others' energy. She was placed with her grandmother for a while before moving to a traditional foster home, and she enjoys playing video games and listening to music, both of which provide her with comfort and creativity.

Aniyah is in need of new shoes, as the pair she currently wears is worn out. A fresh pair that reflects her personal style would not only meet a basic need, but it could also help her feel more confident and comfortable as she navigates school and social outings. Since being placed with her grandmother, Aniyah has been adjusting to many changes. Having something as simple as new shoes can be a meaningful boost, allowing her to show up with pride and feel seen in her individuality.
