LaKayla, 17 years old, TX |

Wish submitted by:

LaKayla's story is both inspiring and heartwarming. She is a 15-year-old who entered foster care in February 2023, and her resilience shines through in her journey. She finds solace and joy in dancing and expressing her creativity through drawing, showcasing her artistic spirit. Growing up, LaKayla shares a unique connection with her cousin, who she considers a sibling. As she looks towards her future, she envisions having her own business and is exploring other ways to make a positive impact on others, reflecting her ambition and desire to give back. What makes LaKayla truly remarkable is her infectious smile and laughter that light up any room she enters. She has faced challenges, including bullying and confidence issues stemming from the loss of a tooth earlier in life.

Lakayla is hoping for new clothes to help her stay warm and comfortable during the cold weather. Having clothes that fit well and are appropriate for winter would make a big difference in her daily life and help her feel confident. She enjoys spending time outdoors and being active, so warm clothing would allow her to do these things comfortably. Lakayla would be very grateful and excited if this wish were granted.
