Izzy, 15 years old, MO | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Izzy is a bright and caring girl with a heart for helping others. She has a sunny outlook on life and a gentle strength that shows in the way she continues to move forward, even through difficult times. Izzy dreams of becoming a nurse one day so she can care for people and make a difference in their lives. Over the past several months, Izzy has faced unimaginable loss after losing her parents in a car accident. She is still navigating that grief, but continues to show resilience and courage each day. Currently living with her aunt, she is adjusting to a new chapter while doing her best to stay positive. Izzy also embraces her girly side; she enjoys things like fashion, self-care, and expressing her style. These interests help her feel confident and bring moments of joy as she continues to heal. Izzy’s compassion, strength, and hopeful spirit make her a truly special young person with a bright future ahead.

Izzy wishes for a phone so she can stay connected with her aunt, friends, and support system as she continues navigating a difficult time in her life. She has never had a phone of her own, so having one would be a meaningful step toward independence and connection. A phone would allow Izzy to stay organized with school, keep in touch with friends, and reach out when she needs support. It would also give her a sense of safety and reassurance, knowing she can contact someone when she’s away from home.
