Wish submitted by:

Aurora is a shy yet talented young lady with a deep motivation to grow and heal. Despite her struggles with self-image and self-love, she is actively working on overcoming these challenges. Having spent time in the system, she continues to cope with the trauma of being separated from her siblings and parents. Aurora is on a journey of letting go and is determined to create her own self-portrait, expressing how she truly sees herself. Her passion for life and her desire to share it with others shine through in everything she does. An amazing cook and seamstress, Aurora loves using her skills to help and uplift those around her.

Aurora lost her iPhone at the beginning of the new school year and has been using her mother's old flip phone since then. She loved her previous iPhone because it allowed her to FaceTime with her relatives and siblings, as well as keep in touch with her new school peers. Unfortunately, Aurora's family is not in a financial position to purchase a new iPhone. Aurora explains that having another iPhone, like her previous one, would enable her to restore her pictures and videos, as well as reconnect with her relatives and friends.
