Allyson, 15 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 01/30

Wish submitted by:

Allyson is currently in the foster care system and is being cared for by her grandmother. Despite the challenges she faces, she is determined to maintain a positive outlook on life. Allyson continues to wear a smile, even when it is difficult to do so. She finds joy in photography, which allows her to pause and appreciate the world for just a moment while capturing an image. Her aspiration is to become a photographer, specifically in journalism, to help others see the world around them through her lens. Allyson has even started her own photography club with the friends she made at school. She has grown to love attending school, as it provides a welcome distraction from her situation in foster care. An A+ student, she consistently strives to improve and do better each time.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Allyson with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
