Emma, 14 years old, MO | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Emma came into care with her younger brothers, having always taken on the role of a mother figure for them. To allow her to focus on her own personal growth, her brothers were placed separately. As Emma embarks on this journey of self-discovery, she's beginning to learn more about who she is outside of that caretaking role. Previously, Emma lived in her grandfather's house, where he rented out rooms. She shared a room with her mother, stepfather, and her two younger brothers. Now, she is determined to break the cycle of her past and pursue her dreams of fame, whether through music or art, both of which she excels at. Emma is teaching herself Spanish, learning to play the guitar, and continuing to develop her drawing skills. She is genuinely enjoying the support and attention from her foster family, which is helping her flourish.

Emma is really good at drawing, especially when it comes to capturing people's personalities. She loves to illustrate different people wearing unique outfits that show off her creative style. Fashion is her other passion, and she often goes to thrift stores to find cool clothes that she can change and make her own. As she works on her art, Emma is finding many ways to express who she is and show her individuality.
