Jamerika, 20 years old, PA | NEEDED BY 04/03

Wish submitted by:

Jamerika is a vibrant and outgoing individual who never fails to bring a smile to everyone’s face. They were raised by their grandmother, who instilled in them the belief that every puzzle may have a missing piece, but there is always something out there that can fit. Although their childhood was different from that of many other kids, and they often faced bullying due to their unique family dynamic, their grandmother consistently reassured them of their belonging and worth. Jamerika enjoys reading both romance and zombie novels, taking long nature walks, creating art, and exploring photography and videography. Documenting life and capturing moments is especially meaningful to them, as they don’t have many keepsakes from their childhood. Additionally, they have a deep love for music and a passion for advocating for the causes they believe in.

Jamerika wishes to see Bruno Mars in concert. Bruno Mars was one of the first artists they saw as a child who looked like them, and his presence in music helped them feel seen and more confident in who they were. His music has remained meaningful to them over the years, and seeing him perform live would be an incredibly joyful experience. Jamerika plans to attend the concert with Kazchmir, another student from the H.O.M.E. program, making this not only a personal milestone but also a shared experience rooted in connection and support. With the ongoing demands of college, having this concert to look forward to would be deeply motivating and uplifting for them.
