Sarah, 16 years old, OR | 13 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Sarah has gone through tough times, especially when her mother passed. She wished a family member would take care of her, but instead, she ended up in foster care, moving between different homes and feeling sad. During this challenging period, she discovered a passion for poetry. What began as small notes became her safe space, helping her express her feelings when she felt overlooked. Her poems are honest and full of pain, hope, and yearning. Sarah dreams of publishing a book to share her story and give a voice to others who feel lost. Through her writing, she is discovering that beauty can emerge from deep pain.

Sarah is in need of printer ink, a necessity that she struggles to afford on her own. Her printer plays a vital role in her daily tasks, including her responsibilities at work and her efforts in writing a book. Without ink, her printer becomes unusable, adding unnecessary stress and obstacles to her routine. The high cost of printer ink has made it a challenge for her to replace it when needed, which directly impacts her ability to print important work documents and drafts of her book. Having more ink would alleviate her worries and enable her to manage these important responsibilities without the constant concern of running out or having to choose between essentials. Providing this support would significantly and positively impact her everyday life, allowing her to fulfill her work commitments and continue pursuing her writing.
