Juliana, 16 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Juliana was eight when her life changed dramatically after her parents were deported, placing her in foster care. She moved from home to home in multiple placements, feeling increasingly lost and disconnected from her culture. The unfamiliar food and absent traditions left her feeling lonely and out of place. After years of searching for a sense of belonging, Juliana is finally with a foster family that understands and embraces her. They make an effort to connect with her background by preparing familiar meals and celebrating her traditions. For the first time, Juliana feels safe and accepted, shedding the weight of isolation for a sense of comfort and belonging.

Juliana is looking for a blue long sleeve shirt that she can wear on a daily basis. This simple staple will help her feel comfortable and put together, no matter what her week entails—whether she's running errands, attending class, or just going through her routine. It's also the ideal item for layering during the colder months. Having a well-fitting and comfortable long-sleeve shirt would make her everyday life a bit easier and much more enjoyable.
