Zoey, 12 years old, MI | 22 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Zoey is very intelligent and creative. She enjoys a variety of activities, including volleyball, basketball, playing the flute, and participating in choir. Despite the many transitions she has experienced, she is doing well in school and excelling academically. Zoey is one of five children and has been separated from all but one of her half-siblings. Together, they have been in six different placements over the last three years.

Zoey is a highly creative individual who loves exploring various forms of art. An iPad would enable her to enjoy music and visual art without the expense of lessons for each. Given her history of neglect and loss, showing her that her interests are valued, even when resources are limited, would significantly boost her self-esteem. With this device, she could express herself freely and discover new talents while nurturing her passion for the arts. It would offer her a sense of belonging and encourage her to keep creating.
