Natalie, 17 years old, CA | 13 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

In February 2024, Natalie entered the foster care system after her family faced significant challenges that led to a report being made to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The experience has been traumatic for her, but amid the upheaval, Natalie finds solace in the strong bond she shares with her siblings. Together, they create joyful moments through dancing and spending time outdoors, which brings her a sense of happiness during these difficult times. Although Natalie is reserved and often observes those around her, her caring nature shines through when it comes to her siblings. As the second oldest girl among them, she plays a vital role in their lives, providing support and love.

Natalie will be graduating, and she could use some new clothes to begin her next chapter. Currently, she wears her older sister's clothes, but she would like to pick out outfits that are specifically meant for her, giving her the opportunity to choose styles she truly likes. This is wish 1 of 2.
