Oakley, 18 years old, TX |

Wish submitted by:

Oakley is a strong and courageous young woman. She has chosen to remain in extended foster care while living with her family. Oakley aspires to attend college and is making positive choices as she works on creating a new version of herself. She loves reading, shopping, and spending time with people she cares about, considering herself an artsy person. Having come from a background of significant domestic violence, she has faced challenges with anger and depression. To cope with these issues, Oakley finds solace in music and books. Additionally, she has a passion for fashion and wants to keep up with the latest trends to fit in.

This Christmas, Oakley’s wish is something simple yet deeply special—a trip to Sephora. For her, it’s more than makeup or skincare; it’s a chance to feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Throughout her time in foster care, Oakley has shown strength, resilience, and a growing sense of who she is becoming. A visit to Sephora gives her a moment to choose things that make her feel beautiful and confident, and to have an experience that is just for her. It’s a reminder that she deserves joy, self-expression, and moments that make her feel empowered. This Christmas wish is a way to honor her journey, support her self-esteem, and remind her that her voice, her choices, and her happiness matter.
