Itzel, 14 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Full of curiosity and a quiet strength, Itzel is a bright young lady who is thriving despite a difficult past. Though she entered foster care due to abuse, she has built a loving environment for her daughter, raising her with the care and support of her grandmother. Itzel has made wonderful strides in finding her voice and confidently speaking up for what she and her family need.

Itzel does not often get the chance to choose things for herself, and she would love the opportunity to shop for some new clothes and personal items that match her style, including a cozy sweatshirt that helps her feel comfortable and confident. A Walmart gift card would give Itzel the chance to enjoy a normal teenage experience, express herself, and feel cared for during a very difficult time in her life. This simple gift would mean so much to her and remind her that people care about her happiness and well-being. This is wish 1 of 2.
