Shiny, 15 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Shiny loves the color black, but she also enjoys wearing all colors. She loves going on bike rides and playing volleyball, football, and basketball. Shiny dreams of becoming an engineer one day. Currently, she is in foster care, where she also has her young daughter placed with her. Shiny has faced a difficult upbringing and spends most of her time studying and caring for her daughter.

Shiny never asks for much. For Christmas this year, she would really like a big teddy bear. Shiny is a mother who puts aside her own childhood for her child, due to no fault of her own. Receiving this small token during the holidays would help her feel the magic of the holiday season.
