Destiny, 15 years old, OH | NEEDED BY 04/10

Wish submitted by:

Destiny is a great teenager who treats everyone on her team kindly and respectfully. She is determined, hardworking, and funny. Destiny is focused on catching up in school, working through her trauma in therapy, trying new activities, and building a bright future. She has formed strong bonds in her foster home and feels safe for the first time. Destiny is excited about new experiences, like school dances, summer camps, learning to drive, opening a savings account, improving her reading and writing skills, trying a sport, and making friends with girls her age. She also wants to learn how to stand up for herself. Destiny lives with her foster mother, and they get along really well. She shares that foster care has been a positive experience, and she is grateful for the support she receives while the court works with her mom. Destiny enjoys makeup, skincare, cow print, clothes, shoes, music, spooky movies, getting her nails done, playing softball, watching the Reds play baseball, visiting Kings Island amusement park, and going to the Cincinnati Zoo. She is also excited to try new restaurants, like Red Lobster, Outback, Olive Garden, and the Cheesecake Factory, many for the first time.

Destiny is gearing up for her first dance, and she can’t wait to dress up and connect with her new friends. She loves getting her nails done and often enjoys nail art. Destiny really wants to visit a salon to get nails that make her feel pretty, special, and confident. Her dress is blue and purple, and she's still deciding if she wants to add some glitter. This whole experience means so much to her, especially since her foster mother is having surgery and she could use a little cheering up.
