Shakira, 9 years old, VA | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Shakira is a foster child who has been in care for a few years and is a thriving young girl. Recently, her family lost everything due to a fire. She is now hoping to be adopted soon. Shakira loves to draw, dance, help others, and cook. She brings a bright, caring energy wherever she goes, and her teacher recently recognized her as the best helper in the classroom. Despite everything she has been through, she continues to show kindness, resilience, and a strong desire to learn and grow.

Shakira and her family were displaced due to an apartment fire and lost everything in the process. They have now found a new place to live, but are starting over completely and working to replace all of their basic belongings. Shakira is in urgent need of undergarments and socks. Having a few pairs to rotate between would help ensure she has the basic essentials she needs each day. These simple items would bring her comfort, dignity, and a sense of stability as she and her family work to rebuild their lives after such a difficult loss.
