Barbii, 11 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 11/15

Wish submitted by:

Barbii is a bright and caring young girl who finds joy in reading, creating videos, and capturing the world through photography. Despite experiencing the instability of homelessness and moving between relatives' homes and shelters, Barbii has shown incredible resilience. Now that she is settled in her own home, she continues to grow and explore her passions. One of her greatest strengths is her compassion for others; she is always looking for ways to help and connect with those around her. At home, Barbii is learning to navigate her big emotions, which can be challenging at times, but she is working hard to understand and express herself.

Barbii has experienced more hardships than most children her age. After facing homelessness and moving between shelters and relatives’ homes, Barbii and her family finally have a place to call their own. Although this new stability has brought hope, they still face challenges, especially this month, as government benefit cuts and the shutdown have made it even harder to afford basic necessities like groceries. Barbii is a caring child who often prioritizes others before herself. Having a well-stocked kitchen would provide her family with comfort, security, and the opportunity to focus on school and healing.
