Layla, 19 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Layla entered foster care at twelve after running away from home. Her life before was unstable, but she's learned to navigate the system. She is now focused on her future and determined to move past her past experiences. She lives in a foster home and is slowly opening up to a few supportive people. Layla dreams of becoming a tattoo artist because drawing has always helped her express herself. She wants to use tattooing to tell stories and promote healing and empowerment.

Layla wants a red shirt for summer. With the warm weather, having something comfy to wear would really help her feel good about herself and enjoy the season. A bright red shirt would let her show off her personality while staying cool during her activities and time with friends. Granting this simple wish would really make a difference for her, giving her something to feel good in and reminding her that she is appreciated and worthy of care.
