Magda, 17 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Magda is a creative and thoughtful young woman. She was adopted as a child, but unfortunately, her adoption did not last into her teenage years. After spending years as a chronic runaway and facing many challenges, Magda continues to demonstrate remarkable strength and determination in her journey toward healing and independence. She is currently focused on therapy, ensuring her safety, and preparing for independent living. Magda aspires to become a licensed cosmetologist one day. With a true artistic spirit, she loves to draw, sing, and express herself through various creative outlets.

After years of running from her challenges and setbacks, Magda is learning to care for herself and build a brighter future. She now regularly participates in therapy and practices self-care, including attending yoga classes through her program. This birthday is a significant milestone for Magda—a moment to honor her growth, strength, and courage. She would love to have a citrine necklace, her birthstone, as a daily reminder of how far she has come and the positive path she is creating for herself. For Magda, citrine represents warmth, hope, and personal strength, qualities she is embracing as she prepares for independence and adulthood.
