Zoey, 21 years old, OR | 25 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Zoey's journey has been anything but ordinary. Before being adopted at the age of 15 by her art teacher, she spent years moving between various foster homes, never quite finding stability or a sense of belonging. It wasn't until her adoption that she truly began to feel seen and supported. Her art teacher recognized Zoey's passion and talent and became a pivotal figure in her life. Now, as a college student majoring in arts and theatre, Zoey has discovered a way to channel her emotions and experiences into her creative expression. Acting and visual arts provide her with an escape from her inner world and allow her to communicate in ways that words often cannot capture. Art has become more than just a hobby for her; it serves as a lifeline that helps her navigate the complexities of her past while embracing the future with confidence.

Zoey is wishing for a beautiful light-up mirror for her living room. Lately, she has been struggling with her confidence and wants a space where she can slow down, look at herself with kindness, and practice daily affirmations. She hopes this mirror will serve as a reminder to see her own beauty, strength, and worth, even on the difficult days. Having a special place to encourage positive self-talk and self-love would mean so much to Zoey and support her as she continues to rebuild her confidence, one reflection at a time.
