Laila, 16 years old, IN

Wish submitted by:

Laila is a thoughtful and creative girl who finds comfort in music, books, and pieces of the past that tell a story. She loves spending time flipping through records, exploring old media, and getting lost in the pages of a good book. Since entering foster care, Laila has been learning how to adjust to many changes while still holding onto the quiet interests that make her feel safe and grounded. She has a deep appreciation for art and nostalgia, and her gentle personality shines through in the way she notices beauty in small, meaningful things.

Laila dreams of having a retro vinyl painting to decorate her room and create a space that truly feels like her own. Music and vintage-style artwork bring her comfort and help her feel calm during a time in her life that has often felt uncertain and overwhelming. A painting inspired by vinyl records would add warmth and personality to her room while reflecting her love of music and creativity. More than just decoration, this gift would help Laila feel comfortable and at home, giving her a peaceful space where she can relax, read, listen to music, and express herself.
