Akeema, 16 years old, CA | 2 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Akeema has faced many challenges in foster care and often struggles to express herself. She lacks natural support and can sometimes feel unseen or misunderstood. Even so, she continues to show strength by exploring her interests and searching for a healthy way to express herself. Akeema is deeply curious and creative, with a growing passion for dance, music, art, and music production. She also enjoys staying active

Akeema would love an iPad for Christmas. Having this device would enhance her ability to explore her interests and assist her with schoolwork. Granting this wish would help her feel valued, supported, and acknowledged in ways that resonate with her lived experiences. It would not only provide her with the tools she needs for her education but also demonstrate that her passions and efforts are recognized and appreciated.
