Ellie, 17 years old, IN |

Wish submitted by:

Ellie is a sensitive and imaginative young artist who finds comfort in expressing herself through painting, drawing, and writing stories. She has a gentle heart and often looks out for her younger brother, their bond deepened by the time they spent together in foster care. Though her journey has included moments of instability, Ellie’s creativity has been a steady light, helping her make sense of the world around her. Being back home with her mom has brought a sense of hope, and she continues to dream and create with quiet resilience.

Ellie wishes for a set of necklaces that she can wear and share. To her, jewelry isn’t just about sparkle—it’s a way to express her style and hold on to things that feel special and meaningful. Having her own necklaces would give Ellie a sense of ownership and beauty, and she would love to share matching pieces with her brother or mom as a symbol of their connection. After so much change, something simple yet lasting like this would help her feel grounded and loved.
