Emilie, 17 years old, MO | 2 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 08/07

Wish submitted by:

Emilie is a teen residing in foster care. She has really been struggling the last few months. She has faced some tragedies in her life that no one, especially her age, should have to deal with. She is doing her best to push through this trauma and wants to better herself. She loves to write and English is her favorite class in school. She likes the color purple, as long as it's not too girly, and her favorite food is pizza and Alani drinks.

Emilie will be starting a brand new school this fall, and like any kid facing a fresh start, she's hoping to feel confident and fit right in from day one. Having a trendy, stylish water bottle to carry with her throughout the day would be a simple way to help her feel like she belongs, giving her one less thing to worry about as she navigates new faces, new routines, and a new environment. It's a small item that could make a big difference in helping Emilie start this new chapter feeling confident and included.
