Evelynn, 10 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Evelynn was in foster care for some time before briefly returning to her biological grandfather. However, she returned to foster care after her father was incarcerated and her grandfather was unable to provide for her care. Since then, she has remained in the same placement. Evelynn is a kind and gentle girl who can be shy at first but warms up once she knows people better. She loves school and shows her intelligence through her enthusiastic participation in classes. At home, she takes care of the younger kids in her foster family and enjoys imaginative play with them, creating fun memories as they pretend to run a household together.

Evelynn is an outgoing, friendly child who takes pride in her appearance and enjoys expressing herself. Having her nails done before school starts would give her a fun self-care experience and a confidence boost as she heads into the new year. Feeling good about her appearance can help ease back-to-school anxiety, promote a positive attitude, and give Evelynn a sense of normalcy alongside her peers. This small gesture would support her self-esteem and help her feel prepared, included, and excited for a fresh start.
