Wish submitted by:

Mila is a resilient and determined young woman who has overcome significant adversity to build a bright future for herself and her family. Raised by her grandmother before entering the foster care system as a teenager, Mila remains a devoted, steady anchor for her brother, who has low-functioning autism. Since aging out of foster care, she has secured her own apartment and is focused on personal growth. Determined to achieve stability, Mila is working toward earning her GED with plans to pursue a nursing career. Creative and multitalented, she enjoys reading, park walks, making jewelry, songwriting, singing, and photography, with dreams of one day exploring acting and modeling.

Mila has a great sense of style and really wants a pair of Dr. Martens boots for her birthday. She’s planning to celebrate with her younger brother, who is autistic and lives in a group home, as well as her best friend and boyfriend. She met her boyfriend while they were both in the group home, and they’ve built a strong bond because of their similar experiences. The boots would not only complete her outfits but also remind her of the special memories they create together. Mila deserves a gift that shows off her personality and love for fashion, and these boots would definitely make her day brighter.
