Kayla, 14 years old, VA | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kayla is an energetic teen with autism who has previously been in foster care. She is currently living in a single-parent household and has a creative mind. Her mom is currently using supportive services as they work to stabilize their situation. Kayla continues to show resilience and creativity as she navigates this period of transition.

Kayla is a resilient and determined teenager who is also autistic. She recently reached a major milestone by successfully completing one of her physical therapy programs—a goal she worked very hard to achieve. Finishing therapy has given her a tremendous sense of accomplishment and confidence, and she is excited to celebrate this achievement by creating a bedroom space that feels comfortable, calming, and truly her own. Kayla wishes for a bedroom makeover, and this vanity would give her a special place to organize her belongings and build independence with her daily routines. This wish is meaningful because it celebrates not only the completion of her therapy journey but also the growth, perseverance, and confidence she has gained along the way. A refreshed bedroom would serve as a daily reminder of her accomplishment and provide a safe, comforting environment that supports her well-being and independence for years to come.
