Melissa, 19 years old, PA

Wish submitted by:

Melissa spent several months in the foster care system before being adopted. Although she was grateful for her new family, she faced many challenges with her adoptive parents. After overcoming numerous hardships, Melissa is now studying art therapy at Arcadia and is embracing her newfound freedom. She is a talented young woman who enjoys drawing, painting, and photography. Melissa also finds comfort in her collection of plushies, which play an important role in her life.

Melissa is asking for a necklace set that reflects her love for animals, especially ocean life. She has always been drawn to marine animals and finds a lot of joy and curiosity in learning about them. Having a piece of jewelry that represents that interest would feel very personal and meaningful to her. It would allow her to express something she cares deeply about while also having something special she can wear every day.
