Roxy, 13 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Roxy has been in foster care since she was a baby. She lost her mother early in life and was placed in an immigration detention center, where she spent two years. Afterward, Roxy was placed with family members, but unfortunately, she faced abuse and neglect until she was finally removed from that situation. Despite her traumatic experiences, Roxy continues to thrive and expresses a desire for a better life. She is an amazing, artistic, and creative child who deserves love and care.

Roxy has experienced trauma in early childhood, which has made it difficult for her to feel comfortable taking showers and baths. Her caregiver and WRAP team have been providing support and counseling to help her work through these challenges and build confidence with her self-care routine. Having pleasant-smelling and gentle exfoliating body washes may help make the experience more positive and encourage her as she continues to build comfort and confidence with bathing.
