Melissa, 18 years old, PA | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Melissa spent several months in the foster care system before being adopted. Although she was grateful for her new family, she faced many challenges with her adoptive parents. After overcoming numerous hardships, Melissa is now studying art therapy at Arcadia and is embracing her newfound freedom. She is a talented young woman who enjoys drawing, painting, and photography. Melissa also finds comfort in her collection of plushies, which play an important role in her life.

Melissa is seeking a weighted stuffed animal to provide her with comfort and emotional support. The added weight has a calming and grounding effect, which can be especially beneficial during stressful or anxious moments. She has always adored stuffed animals, but she currently doesn't own a weighted one. Having this special companion would enhance her sense of comfort and security, making a positive difference in her daily life.
