Megan, 17 years old, MO | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Megan has experienced a difficult foster care journey, moving from home to home and never having the opportunity to feel like she truly had a place to call her own. She is currently living in a group home and is preparing to start her senior year of high school. Despite the challenges and uncertainty she has faced, Megan has an incredibly positive outlook on life and continues to be one of the happiest and most optimistic people around her. She loves to read, draw, and experiment with makeup, using creativity as a way to express herself. Megan dreams of becoming a social worker so she can support and advocate for children who are experiencing the same struggles she has faced. Her resilience, compassion, and hope for the future are truly inspiring.

Megan is looking forward to her senior year and hopes for makeup, hair accessories, and personal hygiene items she can choose for herself. After experiencing many transitions and moving between homes, she has not always had the opportunity to have personal items that reflect her unique style and personality. Having these items would give Megan a meaningful way to express herself, build confidence, and feel prepared for each day. This wish will provide everyday essentials while helping Megan feel comfortable, empowered, and more like herself.
