Wish submitted by:

Amie is a witty and vibrant young woman who's just taken up the trombone in her school band. She loves pulling practical jokes and shares a special bond with her little brother. While her family navigates some tough losses and separations, Amie is finding her own ways to deal with her feelings. She’s started going to counseling and has joined the band, a theater group, and an art class. Amie's creativity shines through in her imaginative ideas for making the world a brighter place, despite her struggles in care.

Amie has recently been separated from her family, specifically from her young brother, who is now in a different foster home. This has been especially difficult for her with the holidays approaching. Despite the challenges, Amie has remained mature and brave, though she admits she struggles with the distance from her brother, whom she used to see and care for daily. Luckily, holiday plans have allowed them to reunite and celebrate together. One of Amie's favorite activities with her brother is making slime. To strengthen their bond and create more joyful memories during their visitations, Amie would love to give him a slime-making kit as a gift.
