Wish submitted by:

Kendall is a remarkable girl who has faced significant challenges in her life. Due to her mother’s struggles with mental health, her grandmother took on the responsibility of raising her to prevent her from entering the foster care system. Unfortunately, Kendall's mother may never regain her role due to serious circumstances that affected both Kendall and her sibling. Kendall herself has developed challenges requiring frequent therapy and suffers from night terrors. Despite it all, she is a shy, sweet girl with a creative spirit. She enjoys drawing, cooking, playing video games, and watching movies. Kendall expresses herself beautifully and loves giving hugs and creating heartfelt cards for others.

Kendall’s 8th grade graduation is an important moment as she moves from middle school to high school. She is learning how to dress and express herself as a young lady, with support from her friends and therapy group. As she gets ready for this special day, she would love to have a handbag that matches her graduation outfit. The handbag would help complete her look and also show how much she is growing and gaining confidence. It represents her progress and the support she has from the people around her as she continues to grow and learn about herself.
