Christina, 21 years old, OR | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Christina entered foster care at just 12 years old after repeatedly running away from an abusive home, beginning a childhood marked by constant movement between foster placements and group homes. Without a stable place to land, she often carried a deep sense of being unloved and unseen. Those early experiences shaped how she viewed herself and the world, making it hard to trust and feel safe. But today, Christina is on a different path. She is intentionally focusing on healing—learning how to sit with her emotions, understand them, and give herself the care she was once denied. Through this journey, she is beginning to build a sense of self-love and worth that no one can take away. Christina now dreams of becoming a therapist, hoping to one day support others who have faced similar pain, turning her story into a source of strength and connection for those still finding their way.

Christina is asking for a cute navy shirt to add to her wardrobe. She enjoys having comfortable and stylish clothing that she can wear for everyday activities, outings with friends, and special occasions. A navy shirt would be a versatile piece that can be paired with many different outfits while helping her feel confident and put together. Navy is a classic color that matches her style, and she would be excited to have a new favorite shirt to wear. This would be both practical and appreciated as she continues building a wardrobe she loves.
