Niya, 15 years old, WI | 16 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Niya was placed in foster care as a baby due to medical neglect and later returned to care as a teenager. She has experienced significant pain and suffering in her life, which has affected her deeply. She often expresses this hurt through anger. Although she has made some mistakes, including fighting with her peers at school, she has taken responsibility for her actions. Niya genuinely wants to succeed and has many goals for her future career. She is a very intelligent young woman who enjoys journaling, doing nails, following fashion trends, and engaging in typical fun activities.

Niya just moved to the foster home, and she's feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. She found a dresser that perfectly matches her bed frame, which makes it even more special for her. Having her own dresser means a lot; for the first time, she won’t have to share her space with anyone, as she always had to with her sibling. This small piece of furniture brings her a sense of independence and personal space, making her new room feel more like home.
