Maya, 14 years old, OK

Wish submitted by:

Maya is in a group home but does not let that define her. She journals constantly, writes poetry, and has a clear dream of becoming a journalist. Every week the highlight is sitting with her mentor to share what she has written. Her words are going to move people someday.

Maya would love a flannel shirt that fits her personal style, something she can throw on before school or wear when she meets with her mentor. For kids in group homes, having clothing that feels like them matters more than most people realize. This would be a small but real reminder that someone sees her.
