Wish submitted by:

Raquel is an inquisitive and curious young girl who loves to ask questions and investigate the world around her. Science is her favorite subject, and she often enjoys hands-on activities and exploring how things work. Currently in foster care, Raquel is grateful to be placed with her little sister, with whom she shares a close and nurturing bond. She takes pride in helping look after her sister and demonstrates strong empathy, responsibility, and resilience as she continues to adjust and thrive in her placement. Raquel hopes to be a detective one day, inspired by her love for solving mysteries and her natural ability to notice small details that others often overlook.

Raquel wishes for a Polaroid camera, especially the white and purple one that matches her favorite color. She would be thrilled to have a camera of her own, as she loves exploring, noticing small details, and capturing moments that spark her curiosity. Having a Polaroid camera would allow her to take instant photos of her adventures, her sister, and the little discoveries she makes each day. This gift would support her creative spirit and her growing interest in observing the world like a future detective.
