Wish submitted by:

Leanna has faced many challenges in her young life, coping with the trauma she witnessed in her parents’ relationship. Though she is reunited with her mother and grateful for the stability this brings, she continues to struggle with her emotions and mental health. Despite these difficulties, Leanna is a resilient and thoughtful girl. She finds comfort in reading, where she can escape into new worlds, and in spending time with animals, which bring her peace and joy. These passions help her cope and remind her of the hope she deserves. Leanna’s journey is ongoing, but her love for books and animals reflects her strength, creativity, and gentle spirit. With continued support, she is learning to heal and embrace the brighter future ahead.

Lianna would love an acrylic paint set this year as she explores her creative side. Engaging in fun activities and creating artwork during the Christmas break will provide her with a healthy outlet for self-expression, help ease her anxiety, and teach her valuable coping skills for her mental health. A paint set would not only inspire Lianna and make her feel good, but it would also ease the financial burden on her mother, making this gift both joyful and meaningful.
